Full Time
Private Equity/Consumer Retail
Mid Level

Kaiser Associates is a leading global strategy consulting firm with offices in Washington, DC and London. 

Kaiser offers a distinctive consulting experience that combines the client prestige and diverse opportunity of a large firm with the close-knit community and entrepreneurial culture of a small firm. With a focus on strategy, we offer development opportunities, accessible senior leadership, and an accelerated path to partner. For decades, Kaiser challenged the heavy travel paradigm, recognizing that many activities are best performed in Kaiser’s own offices and without any travel to the client site, creating a healthier work-life balance for our consultants and greater value for cost to our clients.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
