2008 Highlights

We offer a variety of educational experiences to help employees identify ethical issues and make appropriate decisions:

Ethics reConnection was the 2008 version of our annual all-employee program of ethics awareness classes. The program used realistic video vignettes to stimulate reflection and discussion on how to resolve a series of ethical dilemmas.

Our EthicSpace mini-series reinforces the classroom sessions by delivering dramatic vignettes to employee desktops several times a year. One EthicSpace program was accessed over 65,000 times.
Our library of online compliance modules provides job-related information on topics ranging from conflicts of interest and workforce diversity to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. In 2008, employees completed more than 153,000 online compliance courses.
"Take 5" is a new ethical leadership program, started in 2008 and continuing in 2009. "Take 5" engages leaders with exercises and discussion of the skills employees look for when they describe ethical leadership.

Raytheon's Ethics and Compliance education programs were featured as best practices in 2008 in both the Federal Ethics Report and Ethikos magazine.
