Change, Culture and Engagement, Consultant

London, United Kingdom

The Team

Our Change, Culture and Engagement (CCE) consultants helps companies to do things they haven’t done before.

We support businesses with people-centred change. This might include aligning teams as part of a merger, helping operationalise a new strategy, creating a culture that helps maintain competitive advantage, supporting the arrival of new leadership, and more.

Our approach is people-focused, and research-based. We stay apprised of the latest thinking in industrial sociology, organisational design, engagement, organisational psychology and corporate culture.

We have indicative intellectual property that helps give direction, tools and structure to CCE consultants. However, flexibility, discipline and experience are also key to our work. No two assignments are the same. While we maintain the highest quality standards, consultants in the team need to have good judgment and a high customer-service ethos.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
