Our Values

Our values underpin our culture

At LLNL we embrace our core values, which are foundational in building a culture of excellence and big ideas. The Laboratory’s enduring ideals guide our mission-driven work while fostering a respectful and inclusive workplace culture.

We aspire to create a workplace where all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources, and can contribute fully to the Laboratory’s success.

We use feedback and surveys to inform our culture strategy and set our priorities. We seek candid input from external review committees, employee town halls and focus groups, senior leader discussions, and employee resource groups. This approach provides a well-informed understanding of issues and challenges and guides our strategies to address them.

People are the foundation of the Lab. Excellence is always our objective – our important missions demand it – and high-performing teams require a diversity of perspectives, experiences, backgrounds, and ideas to successfully innovate.

— Kimberly Budil, LLNL Director
