Dear Aero ISC Colleague:
To meet our own growth targets and remain competitive, we must continue to evolve our emphasis on sales and short-cycle growth while further improving productivity, efficiency and cost management.
Every Aerospace business and function has reviewed its Annual Operating Plan (AOP) in line with its Strategic Action Plan (STRAP) goals. In the Integrated Supply Chain, we’ve seen some improvements in factory productivity; however, there is still more work to be done around streamlining our processes, reducing waste, and improving cycle time, all while better managing costs. These efforts will help us meet customer expectations, position us for new business and achieve our organization’s objectives.
Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to conduct a workforce reduction in the United States and Canada. This affects ISC non-touch excluding Sourcing however, several factors went into making this decision. We’ll move as quickly as we can through the process and anticipate being able to inform affected employees by December 22, with the last effective day of employment being January 4, 2018.
Following our established, consistent and equitable policies, we will consider individual request to be selected for this reduction. Employees interested in being selected should confidentially send an email to their HR representative by close of business on November 20. Eligible employees selected through this process will be offered the same benefits as other employees affected by this reduction, including severance and outplacement assistance. Honeywell reserves the right to accept or reject self-nomination requests based on business needs. The Honeywell reduction in force policy for non-represented U.S. employees is available online. For employees in Canada, the reduction in force policy can be found in HR Direct, under HR policies.
I understand the burden these decisions have on employees, and it’s always difficult to take actions like this. If you have any questions, please reach out to your manager or HR partner.
MM
Vice President, Integrated Supply Chain
