1. Employees Come First
Yes, employees come first. Not customers first, not quality first. We believe that if we hire the best individuals and that if we take care of them by providing high-tech, interesting, difference-making work of national importance; they will in turn do the right thing for our customers. We seek people who see the glass as half full, that problems are opportunities, and who are driven to find new ways to break through technical and process obstacles. We do not guarantee life-long employment. However, in recognition of the value of employee performance and loyalty; we make a long-term commitment to our employees. We do not take the view that when a contract or work project ends that we let people go. We hire individuals who have a range of skills, compatible with our core capabilities. This provides us the flexibility and adaptability to move personnel to various projects and locations as employee personal situations and business conditions dictate.
