A Message from the KBR Executive Leadership Team

Welcome to a special year-in-review edition of KBR Link, the theme for which is “A Year of Celebrating Our People.”

This time last year, we looked back at the astonishing events of 2020. Though unprecedented and often challenging, it was a time of innovation, agility and unity at KBR. Our people continued to move in lockstep, working across boundaries to reimagine how we could deliver and propelling the company forward. That’s why in 2021, we made our people our primary focus.

Early in the year, after extensive consultation across the entire business, we refreshed our ONE KBR Values. The first thing we did was move “We Value Our People” to the top of the list. This was not just a symbolic gesture but a flag in the ground, a public affirmation that we believe our people are the best in the world and that we are committed to making KBR the absolute best place to work.

Updating our values was just one part of a comprehensive people-focused strategy that was built on the foundation of our new employee value proposition:

We aim to inspire our people through our shared purpose, culture and values, and to offer them fulfilling careers with an exceptional employee experience, all underpinned by compelling and competitive rewards.

To explore the people strategy and outline in detail how KBR is turning it into a reality, we launched the "People First" video series. We also unveiled an enhanced employee support program and introduced new programs and initiatives that prioritized the mental fitness of our people, including the meQ platform and our KBR Well-being Ambassadors.

And to help us achieve our goal of becoming an attractive, inclusive and globally diverse employer of choice, we asked you for your feedback and insights in our first global People Perspectives employee survey. We want to thank all those who participated. Right now, we are using your responses to develop action plans and will be sharing next steps and progress updates in due course.

These are just a few examples of the people-focused strides we made in 2021. We’re proud to report that we’re making progress and have even been recognized by your colleagues for the work we’re doing. For example, in October, we were selected by Forbes and Statista as one of the World’s Top Female Friendly Companies based on positive anonymous responses from KBR employees and industry peers.

You can relive these special milestones and more in this special edition of KBR Link. Explore the new interactive timeline. Learn more about our progress in sustainability and the numerous wins we achieved together. And meet a few of your colleagues who went above and beyond in 2021 and have been selected for recognition by the ELT in this edition’s “People of KBR” section.

To say that this past year was a success would be an understatement. While much of the world was slowly reemerging and trying to identify what “normal” was going to look like, our team of teams pulled as ONE KBR, driving operational excellence and strong financial performance, and delivering best-in-class results for our customers over and over again. As a result, KBR has soared to exciting new heights, and we’re looking forward to going even further with you in 2022.

Thank you!
