Health and Wellness
Parker is committed to helping employees embrace a healthy lifestyle which includes a balanced and nutritious diet, routine exercise and the conscientious management of everyday stress. Supported by a wellness-focused team of employees at each of its facilities, Parker’s Path to Wellness program is designed to provide comprehensive educational resources, establish group exercise programs and create a supportive environment, enabling employees to take control of their health and affect positive change in their own lives.
Continued Education
Parker strongly believes in investing in the continued educational development of our employees. We empower our workforce to expand their knowledge in their field, and to explore new areas of development. In many cases, we even pay for them to do so. Innovation drives Parker’s ability to solve our customers’ challenges, so we want all of our employees to be best equipped to generate creative ideas and solve new challenges.
Career Advancement
We are a big company that feels small, but the same cannot be said for advancement opportunities within the company. The scale, scope and growth of our operations and the diversity of our technologies and markets create tremendous growth options. Parker employees benefit from exceptional advancement opportunities, either locally at the facility in which they work, or globally at one of our locations around the world.
Ongoing Development
Parker provides employees many opportunities to acquire new knowledge and expand their skill set. Through a robust talent development process employees have opportunities to participate in leadership development experiences, classes and programs, including a Global Development Program (GDP). Participants gain experience working in another country for a one year period, gaining exposure to other cultures, technologies, business processes and more. The GDP experience broadens employees’ perspectives and gives them a better understanding of Parker as a global company.
What's the Parker Difference?
We trust our employees to make decisions, and we recognize their efforts that contribute to our success. We also listen to our employees and understand that a brilliant idea can originate from anywhere. Simply put, we are a big company that feels small and operates with the flexibility to aggressively pursue new ideas.
