Human Capital Management
People Strong, Innovation Driven
Our employees are responsible for providing safe and effective nuclear solutions for global security, clean energy, environmental restoration, nuclear medicine and space exploration. We encourage innovation to develop new technologies, improve our products and open new markets.
Our goal is to be the employer of choice within our industry and the communities in which we operate. We focus on maintaining a solid pipeline of talent throughout our organization and developing the capabilities and skills in our workforce needed for the future of our business. We strive to maintain a highly-skilled workforce where employees are recruited, compensated, retained and promoted based on their performance and contribution to the Company.
Employees
At December 31, 2025, we employed approximately 10,400 persons worldwide, predominantly in the U.S. (6,700 employees) and Canada (3,500 employees) with approximately 200 additional employees resident in Denmark, Germany, India, Poland, Romania, and the United Kingdom. Many of our operations are subject to union contracts, which we negotiate periodically. At December 31, 2025, approximately 3,200 of our employees were members of labor unions. We consider our relationships with our employees to be satisfactory.
Employee Compensation and Benefits
Our compensation plans are designed to reward our employees for achieving and exceeding objectives that create long-term value for shareholders. The success and growth of our business is attributable to our ability to attract, develop, engage and retain talented and high-performing employees at all levels in our Company. Our compensation programs are further designed to ensure we remain competitive relative to the markets in which we operate; provide meaningful value to employees and those they care for; incentivize the short- and long-term success of BWXT and its stakeholders through programs with consistent performance measures throughout the organization; and recognize employees who make outstanding contributions to the organization.
Providing comprehensive, competitive, and affordable retirement, healthcare, income protection and other benefits is also central to our attraction and retention strategy. We offer an array of health benefits which include medical/pharmacy plan options, along with dental, vision and other wellness-specific plans as applicable, and as customarily provided in the locations in which we operate. Our income protection plans provide coverage for employees in the event of an unexpected illness or injury. We also offer retirement, investment, and tax savings/deferral opportunities to our employees.
Employee Development
The professional development of our employees is critical to our success. We offer online and in-person professional development and training, as well as mentoring programs, to enhance the knowledge, skills and advancement opportunities for our employees. To further our employee development goals, we partner with a number of educational institutions for accredited, vocational and technical upskilling programs. We provide tuition reimbursement to employees pursuing job-related, career enhancing courses and provide full tuition grants for the completion of undergraduate and graduate degree programs through an accredited university partner. For employees identified with high potential for promotion to leadership roles, we routinely offer leadership development programs focused on preparing future leaders for their next career steps.
We established the BWXT Technical Fellows program which honors and celebrates some of our most talented employees for their contributions to driving innovation and inspiring creativity. Our Technical Fellows offer a breadth of knowledge and technical expertise that can be focused on developing creative solutions to numerous challenges we face in our industry.
Health and Safety
The safety of our employees is critical to our success as a specialty manufacturer of nuclear fuel, nuclear components, nuclear medicine products and an operator of high-consequence nuclear and national security facilities for the U.S. Government. As such, we are committed to maintaining the highest safety, security, ethical and environmental standards. We maintain comprehensive safety programs focused on identifying risks and eliminating hazards that could lead to personnel injuries or environmental impacts. We provide our employees upfront and ongoing training to ensure that environmental, health and safety policies and procedures are effectively communicated and implemented.
We operate NRC Category 1 and Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission ("CNSC") licensed facilities and have instilled as a core value a culture that prioritizes safety with a vision of zero injuries and incidents at all of our work locations. In pursuit of an injury-free workplace, we constantly monitor and assess all injuries and "near misses" for any lessons we can learn and leverage to reduce the risk inherent in occupational activities. In addition to providing regular safety training to our employees, we routinely conduct safety culture surveys to identify employee concerns. We use this information to further improve our safety culture and programs in an effort to prevent future occupational and environmental incidents.
Ethics and Integrity
We believe that maintaining a work environment that recognizes effort and teamwork, values mutual respect and open communication, and demonstrates care and concern for our employees' well-being is essential to retaining an engaged and productive workforce. Our Code of Business Conduct ("Code") establishes the principles and standards that we expect our employees to follow. Each officer, director and employee is required to use good ethical judgment when conducting business; be respectful of colleagues, business partners, customers and others in their interactions; and comply with applicable laws, rules, and regulations. The Code describes what is appropriate behavior and guides ethical business decisions that maintain a commitment to integrity. In furtherance of this objective, we provide regular training on the Code for our employees to identify and prevent misconduct, and the Code requires that employees report situations that violate our policies and/or negatively impact our work environment. In addition, we maintain the BWXT Ethics Helpline to allow employees to report any concerns relating to ethics or other concerns confidentially and, if they choose, anonymously. We investigate and take prompt action to correct conduct that is inconsistent with our Code and other policies.
