  • Develop and deliver effective compliance education and training tailored to business needs and emerging risk areas.
  • Analyze compliance trends, findings and risk indicators and communicate actionable insights and recommendations to Compliance leadership and business stakeholders.
  • Support policy development and maintenance, compliance assessments, investigations, audits and other Corporate Compliance initiatives 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.
