BAE Systems is Proud to be Named One of the “Top Workplaces” in Utah
November 5, 2018
OGDEN, Utah–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Salt Lake Tribune has recognized BAE
Systems as one of Utah’s
“Top Workplaces” for 2018. The annual rankings, determined in
partnership with the employee research and consulting firm Energage,
are calculated using feedback collected by anonymously surveyed
employees. The competition is open to Utah employers of all sizes,
across any industry. BAE Systems was the only defense technology company
to appear on the list.
“This is an outstanding honor that can only be earned after being
critiqued by the toughest, and most meaningful, critics – our own
employees,” said Pete Trainer, vice president and general manager of BAE
Systems’ Air Force Solutions business. “Our people are our most valued
asset.”
Anyone can nominate a company for the Top Workplaces program. Employees
within each nominated business must complete a survey ranking their
respective employers across 24 unique categories that evaluate pay,
benefits, flexibility, and training. The survey also studies employee
engagement, assesses employee affinity for their corporate leadership
and values, and appraises the significance of each company’s work.
The BAE Systems employees who participated in the study primarily work
at Hill
Air Force Base in Northern Utah. They are part of an 800 person
contract team working to assist the U.S. Air Force in maintaining the
readiness of its intercontinental ballistic missile defenses.
“Our people play an integral and meaningful role in ensuring our
nation’s security,” said Rick Allen, director of Air Force Solutions
Strategic Systems at BAE Systems. “Our team of engineers, program
managers, logisticians, and cybersecurity experts go to work each day
knowing they are preserving and modernizing the critical infrastructure
required for a safe, secure, and effective land based strategic
deterrent.”
BAE Systems also received
a special award among all Top Workplace nominees for
encouraging balance between work and life for its employees – a key
discriminator the company promotes in its workforce recruiting efforts.
More than 120 organizations participated in this year’s survey, with 85
Utah area employers scoring well enough to earn recognition on the Top
Workplaces list.
BAE Systems delivers a broad range of solutions and services enabling
militaries and governments to successfully carryout their missions. The
company provides large-scale systems engineering, integration, and
sustainment services across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains.
BAE Systems takes pride in its support of national security and those
who serve. Click
