General Dynamics Information Technology

Our Values

The culture of our company is defined by our core values: Honesty, Transparency, Trust and Alignment. These values are the foundation upon which we conduct business and interact with our fellow employees, customers, partners and suppliers.

Diversity & Inclusion

General Dynamics IT values a diverse and inclusive workplace, in which all employees have the equal opportunity to thrive and contribute meaningfully to our customers and our mission. We believe in fostering a workplace diverse and inclusive of beliefs, cultural background, job experiences, thoughts and ideas. These unique characteristics, brought together, are fundamental to promoting innovation and driving results for our clients and the world around us. Diversity includes all of us.

Our employees are our business. We believe all of our employees have skills and talents that collectively contribute to our business success. Our corporate responsibility is to provide a work environment that maximizes on the ability of all employees to engage and be the most productive that they can; a workplace where our collective ideas, thoughts and perspectives come together to serve our clients.

Our workforce is as diverse and globally distributed as our customers and their missions are. Likewise, our success is directly correlated to our ability to understand, acknowledge, appreciate and accept each other’s unique contributions. Our differences are what we have in common.

Employee Resource Groups

Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are an integral part of our Diversity & Inclusion strategy. These employee-led groups are formed around common interests, backgrounds, or issues, and are aligned with our mission, values, and goals. All ERGs are aligned around three common goals: Support the business, develop themselves and give back to the community.

General Dynamics IT currently recognizes eight official ERGS:

• Abilities First/Ability Counts
• Black Employees Network
• Faith & H.O.P.E. (Honesty, Optimism, Prayer, Encouragement)
• Future Leaders
• HOLA (Hispano Latinx Association)
• Military Connection/Veterans Salute
• P.R.I.D.E. (People Representing Inclusion and Diversity Everywhere)
• Women @ Work/Women in Leadership
