One Team and All Inclusive...

FSSI's commitment to diversity is based on the fundamental beliefs that it is equally ethical and good business. FSSI's Standards of Business Ethics and Conduct states, "Equal employment opportunity and affirmative action are a matter of sound business policy as well as public responsibility. It is essential, therefore, that all personnel actions be carried out without regard to marital status, religion, race, color, age, sex, national origin, handicap or veteran status.

We at FSSI have developed initiatives to respond better to changes in the demographics of the labor force, changes in customer requirements, and the globalization of the marketplace. These include "grass roots" efforts with employee-led committees, employee empowerment to improvement of our diversity programs, and recommendations for adopting the practices of other companies and organizations.

Our business unit's managers and corporate Human Resources staff have identified approaches to increasing diversity such as training, formal recruiting, and mentoring programs. The result is a company-wide effort to expand the diversity of the work force and to develop a culture where the employee population can succeed. The following provides more information on these efforts and the results they have produced. Continued activity in these arenas will allow FSSI to remain competitive and maintain its place as a leader in scientific and technological development and service to customers on a worldwide basis.

Technology Building for Tomorrow - At FSSI, we recognize that affirmative action and a multicultural environment are good business. In order to stay competitive in a global marketplace and meet the demands of our customer's, we must draw on the knowledge and experience of talented men and women of all races, ethnic groups, religions, national origins, ages, mental and physical abilities, and sexual orientations. We do this by implementing strategies that attract, retain, and develop the best employees possible.

Our commitment begins with hiring; however, it does not stop there! Inclusion and respect for the individual is at the core of our culture. We offer employees training and professional development to help them grow and benefits that balance work with other aspects of their lives.

As our technologies and solutions excel beyond frontiers, so does our spirit of humanitarian involvement. FSSI supports the National Society of Black Engineers and Alpha Phi Alpha which has a variety of scholarship programs for college students.
