Diversity & Work Life

Creative, innovative and enthusiastic employees are PARSONS most important resource and we believe that these attributes are available across all genders, ethnicities and life styles. We encourage a creative, diverse and enthusiastic work environment that is characterized by respect for each other and each other’s differences. Our commitment to diversity takes place each time we fill a position, transfer an employee or promote from within. PARSONS considers each employee and every applicant as a crucial and necessary piece of a large corporate endeavor to be an employer of choice.
We feel that being an employer of choice demands that we build and maintain a strong bond with minority and women organizations, promote and develop policies which reflect our commitment to diversity, utilize the electronic and print media to attract diverse applicants, promote employees based on qualifications and contributions…regardless of race, gender or social differences.

The Business Strategy

• Our customers, strategic partners and work site locations are increasingly global and multicultural. We must position ourselves to relate to them.
• Our competitive advantage is being a premier leader in our industry, with our innovative designs, creativity and flexible approach to difficult opportunities. We must have a diverse approach to business, people and a goal to meet this global challenge.
• The work force demographics are changing domestically and internationally. The domestic labor pool is shrinking and projections are for a sustained shortage. Competition is increasing and we must rely on a global pool of applicants. We must be able to understand, connect, respond and assimilate.
