BRAVO to our Stars is an enterprise-wide recognition program that reinforces the company's commitment to motivating and rewarding our talented workforce. Through BRAVO to our Stars, you will find multiple ways to recognize your peers.

eRecognition makes it easy to recognize accomplishments, share appreciation, and celebrate the success and career milestone achievements of your teammates with eCards.

Monetary Recognition empowers managers to recognize employees with cash awards paid through payroll.

BRAVO to our Stars celebrates an employee’s first year anniversary with a printed yearbook featuring congratulations from co-workers and more. Then, for every five-year milestone anniversary, an employee will receive a printed yearbook and instructions on how to order a milestone award.

Lastly, within six to eight weeks of an employee’s official retirement date, BRAVO to our Stars will automatically generate a commemorative booklet and mail it directly to the employee. The booklet acknowledges and thanks the employee for their years of service with Northrop Grumman. The commemorative booklet will also include a catalog of award options.

No action is required on the part of an employee or their management for the retiree to receive the commemorative booklet; however, management may customize and print a certificate for the retiring employee by visiting this link.

New for 2023: Free Tax Preparation through the Metlife Legal Advantage Plan.

It’s important to take time away from work to recharge, when you’re not feeling well or to schedule necessary appointments. Paid Time Off (PTO) is an accrued, vested benefit based on your years of service that offers compensation for time taken off from work. PTO can be taken for vacation, sick days or for other personal reasons such as waiting for a repair technician at home, attending a child’s school activities or participating in community events.

Paid Time Off eligibility is subject to applicable collective bargaining agreement(s), if any to all union employees.

Other forms of time off include:

• Spending time with your family and friends during Holidays.
• Fulfilling your civic duty through voting, jury duty or military leave.
• Spending time with loved ones after a death in the family using bereavement. Northrop Grumman will make a donation in memory of lost loved ones.
• Adjusting to life at home with a newborn utilizing maternity leave and parental leave.
• Gaining additional time off with alternate work arrangements through Flexible Work Schedules (i.e. 9/80 work schedules). Review the Workplace Accommodations site for additional resources.
• Giving back to the local community through volunteerism is a great way to meet and network with other employees, team build, develop leadership skills and learn about commitments the company has made to strengthen our communities.
