-Harassment by managers, co-workers, or others in the workplace, because of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.

That's the professional way to describe how we hire and lead employees. More casually, we practice professional kindness and respect and also put on pretty great potlucks. Our benefits are good and you get federal and state holidays off in addition to accrued leave, and full-time employees enter the pension system based on years of service. True pensions are hard to come by.
KCHD is a great place to get your start right out of college. It's also a superb place for those retirees looking at second careers. Bring that incredible experience with you!
