Amentum Celebrates Six Months as an Independent Company
By John Vollmer, CEO
This week marks our sixth-month milestone as a new company. We have so much to be proud of this year, and I look forward to us properly celebrating all that we have achieved on Amentum’s first birthday early in 2021.
The amount of change our nation and the world has endured this year, and continues to experience, is truly unprecedented. As a newly formed company, we have also managed many changes. Launching our new brand, and transitioning to new systems, platforms, and processes, are just a few of the changes.
For several months, many of us have also been adjusting to working remotely, while many others have continued to work on the frontlines supporting our customers’ most critical missions. It has been a challenging time for everyone — but despite the changes, I am proud to say we are continuing to perform and deliver excellence, supporting both our people and our customers.
Following are a few highlights of what we have achieved together:
Living Safely
• Achieved Diamond-level sponsorship of the Board of Certified Safety Professionals Safety Trained Supervisor (STS) program. More than 1,035 active Amentum employees have achieved the STS and STSC certifications respectively – nearly 20 percent of all STS-certified professionals and the most of any organization.
• Anniston Static Detonation Chamber Worksite approved as a Star Participant in OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program.
Valuing our people and communities
• Enhanced employee benefits. Our Benefits Workstream team continues to meet and strategize improvements.
• Launched Amentum Academy, offering more than 8,500 LinkedIn courses.
• Engaged our employees through Waggl pulses.
• Launched STP Foundations, the next step in our Supervisor Training Program.
• Received more than $497,000 in COVID-19 PTO donations, with 220 employees supported to date.
• Committed $200,000 to help communities nationwide meet the most critical needs created by COVID-19. read more
