Inclusion and Diversity
KBR’s culture is built on a commitment to Zero Harm — doing the right thing and making decisions that count for our planet, our communities, our business and, most importantly, our people. We are dedicated to creating collaborative environments that transcend cultures and geographical boundaries, where all ideas, viewpoints and input are heard, respected and considered. We believe that all our individual differences and perspectives are valuable. By embracing those differences and working together, we’re more innovative and resilient, safer, and better prepared to conquer any challenge.
Employee Resource Groups
KBR’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) help shape our company culture by bringing together people of different backgrounds who share similar interests and commonalities into One KBR.
Through career development, personal enrichment, networking, community engagement and much more, our ERGs have a shared goal to benefit to the communities where we operate.
Our employee groups celebrate our company’s diverse employee population. With ERGs across the global KBR network, there’s a home for anyone seeking to make an impact at KBR.
Pride and Allies
Pride and Allies is one of KBR’s global employee resource groups that aims to give LGBTQ+ people equal opportunity to learn, influence and lead within our business. In Australia, we want to help create truly inclusive spaces where everyone is respected for who they are and can bring their whole selves to work.
MERGE
KBR’s Minority Employee Resource Group, known as MERGE was created as a vehicle for employees of underrepresented demographics to freely express ideas and to develop new initiatives with a community of like-minded individuals. MERGE is important because we are all the products of our culture, and if we are not exposed to others, we can become resistant to change.
IMPACT
IMPACT is an employee-led organization that serves as the launching point for developing young professionals within KBR. Through professional development, networking, community outreach, and career and personal enrichment, IMPACT seeks to motivate, retain and develop our members, and transform them into future leaders at KBR.
Mental health and wellbeing
At KBR, we promote a culture of caring that breaks down the barriers that so often stand between having open dialogue about mental health. We are committed to providing our people with mental health and wellbeing support, services and tools to help sustain a mentally healthy workforce.
ASPIRE
ASPIRE is an employee-driven resource group committed to the development of women and the promotion of gender diversity at KBR. ASPIRE is dedicated to building a culture of inclusion and respect in the belief that equity enhances team performance and makes KBR a better, more efficient business.
Armed Forces Community
The Armed Forces Community connects and supports Armed Forces Veterans, Reserves, spouses and members of the wider community through a collaborative network across KBR. This community respects and honours the sacrifice and commitment of its members and provides a supportive, informed and welcoming environment for members, raising awareness for issues and events related to the Armed Forces Community.
ALL IN
All In is KBR's global community dedicated to promoting and strengthening our Inclusion and Diversity (I&D) culture. The Vision of All In is to make KBR an employer of choice where all employees, customers and partners are included and celebrated, and where a diverse team of teams collaborates to uphold our commitment to social sustainability in the communities where we live and work.
