Employee Feedback
Raytheon employees continue to rate our ethics education approach highly. In 2007, 78 percent of Employee Opinion Survey respondents agreed that ethics education is useful in guiding their conduct and decisions at work, up five points from 2005. Survey results are useful not only in shaping ethics education, but also in alerting leadership to issues and trends. They are an integral part of top-level operating reviews of Raytheon businesses.
Investigations and Results
The year 2007 saw a substantial increase in requests for information on ethics issues, which were up 44 percent over 2006. At the same time, the number of alleged instances of misconduct was down 9 percent. We believe these statistics demonstrate employees' growing awareness of the resources available to help resolve ethics issues. We will continue to develop and promote these resources as part of the larger task of maintaining the highest possible ethical standards throughout the company.
