Position Summary

The Senior Specialist, Employee Engagement & Talent Management is the architect and operator behind the programs that shape how people join us, grow with us, and choose to stay. This role owns IEM's enterprise onboarding strategy that supports the experience of new hires, hiring manager enablement, and measurement framework, while also contributing meaningfully to a broader portfolio of Talent Management initiatives including engagement surveys, community connection, and performance management, and career development.

As a confident, engaging facilitator, this individual brings programs to life in the room, whether it’s hosting new hire onboarding sessions, leading employee experience initiatives, or stepping in to support additional deliveries as needed.

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. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
