Why Delta Defense, LLC IS A MOST LOVED WORKPLACE®

Systemic Collaboration

EMPLOYEES COLLABORATE THROUGHOUT OUR COMPANY BY …

We have a renewed focus on collaboration in 2023. Our motto is “Discipline + Accountability = Victory”
This principle is revisited at our company wide weekly meeting. Our leaders remind us to use common sense to integrate and communicate. We can do this in person, on a virtual meeting, in Slack, via text or phone call. Our company intranet is updated with the latest company information so employees can find the information they need every day.

Positive Vision of the Future

We have had wonderful growth of the company in the last 20 years. 2023 is our 20th anniversary. We provide an atmosphere that demonstrates we care about the entire person, and allow employees to be their authentic selves. Delta Defense operates with an entrepreneurial mindset that allows employees to continue to grow their careers and skill sets. We invest in our employees to grow personally and professionally so they can grow with the company.

We showed employees that we value their commitment to our company by rolling out a monetary bonus program in 2023, that awards employees when they reach a milestone anniversary.

Company Respect

WE SHOW RESPECT AND ENSURE THAT ALL VOICES ARE HEARD AND IDEAS ARE VALUED THROUGHOUT THE COMPANY BY …

We provide Outward Mindset Training for all employees during their first week. This creates an environment that gives employees the knowledge and tools to be able to recognize inward and outward mindsets and the impact that has on the workplace and their lives. We know you have to “see others” to adjust efforts and measure the impact. That is why this foundational all day training is provided to all new hires, with refresher training available during the year.
We encourage employees to recognize their mistakes as learning opportunities instead of failures. We have instilled a workplace that champions employees to continue to grow in their careers, even if that growth takes them outside Delta Defense.

Delta Defense’s mission is not solely a poster on the wall but embodies all aspects of decision-making and initiatives at Delta Defense.
