At BAE Systems Ship Repair, we believe it’s management’s job to serve
our employees. Through our People are Important philosophy, adopted
by all of our shipyards, we’ve empowered our workers to
achieve new levels of excellence, instilling in them a greater
sense of pride and achievement in their work. Our managers ask
their employees every day if there is anything they can do to
help them do their jobs more efficiently. You can tour any one of our shipyards and see evidence of “People are Important.”
Each department and shop is responsible for responding to employee
requests and implementing
them, if possible. To date, throughout our network of shipyards,
over 12,000 employee requests and concerns have been addressed
and actions taken. A long-awaited 850 space parking facility has
been built. A state-of-the art training center is now fully
operational at our San Diego Ship Repair facility. Our buildings have been
remodeled, new bathrooms have been built and existing ones have
been redone at all of our shipyards. New lunch areas, paved parking
spaces, extensive landscaping and remodeled offices have been
constructed. One of our Shipyards features a fully equipped fitness
center, complete with the latest exercise equipment, showers and
dressing rooms for men and women, locker rooms and a sauna.
Additionally, a brand-new modern office complex has been built,
which is the home of the Supervisor of Shipbuilding Conversion
and Repair as well as our Program Management Group. Through frequent
breakfasts and dinners with our workers, we encourage two-way
communication and open dialogue. This style of involving our employees
in the decisions made regarding the operations of the business
leads to greater trust and understanding between managers and
their workers. In response, productivity and profitability has
risen. BAE System Ship Repair yards also stress employee recognition through celebrations
and various company-sponsored events. Our companies have developed
unique, generous bonus programs for all employees - based on productivity
- providing additional incentives for excellence. This simple,
yet often overlooked, workplace philosophy inevitably leads to
happier, satisfied customers… the ultimate goal.
