Equal Employment
KCI Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Policy
KCI continues to to be an Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. The continued success of our business growth and competitiveness depends heavily on our EEO/AA compliance program efforts in addition to the full and effective utilization of all available talent. To this end, it is KCI policy to provide Equal Employment Opportunity to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin/ancestry/citizenship, age, disability, covered military status, martial status, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other protected class status. Our EEO/AA policy applies to all areas of employment, including in part: recruitment and hiring, compensation and benefits, promotion and transfer, training and development, discipline and discharge, and recreational and social activities.
As a Federal government contractor, KCI is required to annually develop written Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs) to employ and advance in employment qualified women, minorities, individuals with disabilities and covered veterans or any other protected class status. Relevant portions of these plans are available for inspection by contacting the KCI EEO Coordinator at 210-255-6482.
The KCI Sr. Vice President of Human Resources has responsibility for the overall direction of the EEO/AA compliance programs. Management responsibility for these programs has been delegated to the KCI Manager of EEO & Diversity. Questions concerning our EEO/AA policy or AAPs should be directed to 210-255-6699.
KCI is committed to providing a work environment that is free of harassment, discrimination and/or retaliation based on sex, race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, age, veteran status or any other protected class status; and every KCI manager and employee is responsible for day-to-day compliance with the policy. KCI will not tolerate any form of illegal harassment, discrimination and/or retaliation in the workplace and will hold managers and employees who violate this policy accountable, including any required discipline and discharge. More specific information is provided in the KCI EEO Policy, as well as in training materials provided for (a) supervisors and managers, and (b) new hire orientation.
If any employee or employee candidate feels that he or she has been harassed, discriminated and/or retaliated against because of sex, race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, veteran status or any other protected class status, KCI encourages you to immediately contact your HR representative or the Manager of EEO & Diversity. Complaints alleging harassment, discrimination and/or retaliation will be investigated promptly in a confidential manner, including all required corrective action.
KCI is confident that all of us, working together, will create and maintain an environment that is free of harassment, discrimination and/or retaliation, while encouraging the full and equal participation of all available talent, and that ongoing progress in meeting our EEO/AA compliance objectives will continue to add to the business growth and success of KCI.
