Employee Spotlight: Our ERG Leadership
“As an ERG leader I strive to help break down barriers and provide the right tools to enable RTX employees to be the best version of themselves. A diverse and inclusive workforce that feels empowered can solve our customers toughest challenges.” - Matt Oka, Raytheon Finance, ADAPT Co-chair
Safety Spotlight: The Ergo Cup
A team from Collins Aerospace in Oakville, Canada, was one of five winning teams (out of more than 50 submissions) of the 2023 RTX Ergo Cup. The award recognizes teams across RTX that develop and implement innovative solutions to reduce ergonomic risk. While sanding axle bands on the shop floor, employees at Collins had reported hand fatigue and discomfort. The team used additive manufacturing to develop handles to help improve gripping of the sandpaper – optimizing employee grip strength, decreasing fatigue and eliminating contact pressure.

At RTX, we're focused on creating equitable opportunities to work, grow and belong for all team members – current and future.
