Parsons embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion in every aspect of its identity as a way to drive corporate culture, spark innovation, and enhance business growth. The company established a DEI Council in 2017 to unify and prioritize its focus on establishing a community of unique people, backgrounds, thoughts, voices, and experiences, resulting in increased employee engagement and participation. Parsons also embraces its six employee resource groups supporting veterans, women, the LGBTQ+ community and people of color to drive inclusion and equity throughout its global, ethnically diverse workforce.
In early 2022, Parsons was recognized with a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Equity Index for active support and inclusion of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community. The company has also been recognized by Military Times, GI Jobs, and the Department of Defense Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve for its support to the military veteran community and its position as an excellent company for veteran empowerment.
