Q2 2023 Achiever Awards

Achiever Awards

Across the enterprise, our Textron employees have been working hard to achieve the goals of creating safe workplaces, healthy employees, resilient facilities, and a sustainable footprint. These are all part of Textron’s Achieve 2025 initiative, a 5-year plan to increase overall health and well-being for our employees and the environment.

Each quarter, our businesses recognize an employee or team that has gone above and beyond in helping achieve one of these four goals. Here are the recipients of our Achiever Awards for this past quarter:

Although Megan is not part of the EHS team, through her role in communications she brings ideas to the forefront that support the growth of a strong safety culture. Meghan’s support, ideas and feedback has assured that Aviation can push safety programs broadly, timely, and in a highly organized manner. Meghan always operates with the mindset of how to make facilities safer for all involved.

	Resilient Facilities Rohan Martis, Director of Operations KGJ, Kautex Ahmedabad Dheeraj Vaish, Sr Manager EHS & Supplier Development, Kautex Ahmedabad Rohan and Dheeraj are being recognized for their efforts in increasing Kautex Ahmedabad's resilient facilities efforts and increasing employee engagement. Rohan and Dheeraj led the facility from a quartile 4 risk facility (highest risk) to a quartile 2 risk facility (second lowest risk), increased the facility's FM Global RiskMark Score from a 39 at the baseline 2019 year to the current RiskMark Score of 74, and increased the facility's FM Global Percent Potential from 40% at the baseline 2019 year to the current Percent Potential of 89%. Rohan and Dheeraj made this possible by diligently following FM Global guidelines and closing out open risk recommendations. Furthermore, the duo held fire response training and a mock fire drill to engage employees with the resilient facilities efforts as well. Some closing remarks from Rohan, “I would like to recognize that no one or two people can fully drive this kind of progress with Achieve 2025, to make our goals happen, it requires an entire team’s effort.”
