Over the past five years of our diversity and inclusion journey, we’ve gone a long way toward creating a culture that values differences and promotes an inclusive environment. We view this as a competitive advantage for Rockwell Collins. Our efforts earned us recognition from several national organizations during 2009, including being named to DiversityInc’s list of “Top 25 Noteworthy Companies for Diversity” and being named one of the “Best Diversity Companies” by the readers of Diversity/Careers in Engineering and Information Technology—both for the second year in a row.
