A Benefits Program Just For You

Welcome to Excel, Your Vought Benefits program!

In creating a name and symbol for Vought Benefits, we wanted an identifier that would represent the outstanding features of your Vought Aircraft benefits program - a valuable program with options to meet your personal and family needs. The name “Excel” means excellence! The pentagon shape represents the five major segments of your benefits program - Medical, Dental, Life/AD&D, Vision and Flexible Spending accounts. The check mark in the box is a reminder of the program’s flexibility to meet your individual needs.

THE VALUE OF YOUR BENEFITS

Your benefits program is an important part of your Total Compensation at Vought, adding significant value to your compensation package. Our benefits program is designed to be competitive in our industry and in our job markets - part of our strategy to create a work environment that establishes us as an Employer of Choice. Our benefits program has numerous options that allow you to make choices to meet your personal and family needs.

YOU AND THE COMPANY SHARE THE COST

As you know, the company pays the major part of the cost of your benefits. Because of Vought’s purchasing power, we are able to negotiate the most cost-effective coverage for you and your family. Our ability to offer excellent health care benefits is a cooperative effort between you and the company. Therefore, you will continue to pay a portion of the cost of your coverage. Your costs to participate in the Vought plan, however, are significantly less than you would pay for individual coverage.
