In 2022, we established a non-partner equity award program that creates wealth opportunities tied to long-term firm performance for a broader set of colleagues, beginning at the consultant manager level. In 2023, the program expanded to include management services colleagues. By offering equity awards earlier in your career, Kearney is building an ownership-minded firm where both you and the firm grow together.

Success with Flex is a global program that facilitates part-time options and other alternate schedules, such as working fewer days per week or fewer hours.

Kearney’s Social Impact Externship program pairs colleagues who are passionate about creating a positive impact with social entrepreneurs, NGOs, or other innovative impact organizations. Externs can spend up to three months working directly with these organizations, providing an opportunity to contribute professionally to a meaningful cause, build new skills in a dynamic entrepreneurial environment, and gain firsthand experience in the social impact sector.

This program offers many options to help ease the transition for caregivers who are returning to work, including the ability to take a six-month rotation in a family-friendly role, work part-time, or take a partially paid parental leave of absence. 

This program encompasses the effective use of technology, remote working arrangements, alternate travel schedules, and different work allocations to create more options within teams. Each team develops a charter that balances team objectives and the personal goals of team members to ensure a sustainable workload and successful project.
