Northrop Grumman Named a 2022 Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion

FALLS CHURCH, Va., July 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has been named a Best Place to Work for disability inclusion by Disability:IN and American Association of People with Disabilities for the eighth consecutive year. The company earned a score of 100 percent on the 2022 Disability Equality Index (DEI) for implementing leading disability inclusion practices.

The DEI is a benchmarking tool to measure disability workplace inclusion, assessing factors like culture and leadership, enterprise-wide access, community engagement and employment practices such as recruitment, education and retention. Northrop Grumman has participated since the index’s inception in 2015, and the company uses the factors to continuously evolve inclusion practices.

“At Northrop Grumman, we believe that a work force and workplace that values diversity and inclusion is pivotal to promoting innovation and increasing productivity and profitability,” said Kenny Robinson, vice president and chief diversity officer, Northrop Grumman. “This honor is a reflection of our commitment to building empathy and inclusivity for one another, so everyone is supported and respected.”

Northrop Grumman is committed to improving accessibility for all employees, building on foundational programs for hiring, employee development and education around resources. Northrop Grumman also has relationships with the Disability Student Offices on college campuses and provides Advanced Higher Education funding.
