Below is an overview of some of the many ways that Raytheon seeks, embraces and promotes diversity inside and outside the company.

Talent Retention and Acquisition
Diversity is a key component of Raytheon’s talent retention and acquisition strategy. We use a variety of educational programmes to inform employees about why diversity matters for our company culture and business — and how to achieve it. The company also supports partnerships like the Tuskegee Pipeline Initiative and National Defense University Partnering Strategy.
Rdiversity Summit: Accelerating Our Journey to an Inclusive Culture
This annual company event is designed to illustrate the power of an inclusive culture, enhance internal support for diversity and help participants become agents of change.
Employee Resource Groups
Raytheon embraces numerous Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). ERGs offer a forum where people can build networks and share dialogue. In addition to helping individuals meet their personal goals, the groups work to help the company achieve its business objectives.
Communications
The key to inclusiveness is open communication. The company launched an extensive advertising campaign in 2007 to inform business partners, employees, potential job candidates and the media about Raytheon’s commitment to diversity.
Community Involvement
At Raytheon we’re committed to creating dramatic and lasting change through volunteerism and strategic charitable giving. Raytheon’s corporate giving focuses on Maths and Sciences education, support of active duty military personnel and disaster relief. In 2007, Raytheon will support several organisations that share in our vision of buidling an inclusive culture while focusing on these three strategic areas.
