Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS) has been named one of the top
five aerospace and defense industry companies in a recent workforce
study of issues important to employees and potential employees.
The 2017 Aviation Week Workforce Study is conducted each year to
gain insights into the aerospace and defense workforce and make
recommendations to the industry. The ranking is based on the
following factors: challenging technological opportunities, career
advancement, individual contribution value and pay and benefits.
Surveys have shown these specific criteria are the most important
to industry employees and potential employees.
Along with Harris, other companies recognized were Boeing,
Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and Rockwell Collins. An article

“We strive to create an environment where all of our employees
are valued and inspired to create innovative solutions that address
our customers’ most critical challenges,” said William M. Brown,
Harris Chairman and CEO. “This ranking reflects the tremendous
opportunities that we offer to employees and the positive work
environment and culture that we have established.”
Harris has 17,000 employees, including 7,700 engineers and
scientists, who work on innovative technologies in areas such as
tactical communications, electronic warfare, avionics, air traffic
management, space and intelligence and weather systems. The company
offers competitive benefits, including a discretionary time-off
policy with no maximum. Another draw is Harris’ slate of core
values – Integrity, Excellence, Customers, Results, Innovation and
Inclusion. The Harris Employees Actively Responding Together
(HEART) program appeals to community-minded employees, who last
year volunteered about 54,000 hours.
The study was conducted in conjunction with the Aerospace
Industries Association, American Institute of Aeronautics and
Astronautics and PwC.
