Spirit AeroSystems is committed to the principles and spirit of Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action. Spirit ensures that processes, systems, and methodologies are in place to support appropriate behaviors and interactions in the workplace. Our strategies, tools, and actions to build and retain a broadly diverse talent base  include targeted recruiting processes  and intern programs, a supplier diversity program, and networking with professional associations and affinity groups.

Help for individual employees and managers is provided through activities to raise awareness and understanding of differences and to build skills to work effectively with others, and development programs to enhance leadership skills to define, create, and leverage the broadly diverse knowledge, backgrounds, and experiences of employees.

An experience-based training program, “Taking Flight Through People and Innovation,” helps connect compliance issues with the need to maximize differences in support of the company’s operational goals. Taking diversity  beyond what’s required by law helps everyone succeed – employees, company, and all partners.
