Equal employment opportunity
Parsons Dance is committed to equal employment opportunity best practices that foster diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We do not tolerate discrimination in employment, employment-related decisions, or in business dealings on the basis of race, color, ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation, religion, physical or mental disability, ethnicity, national origin, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, or any other legally protected status. Parsons Dance will always seek to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans in our job application procedures. We also consider qualified applicants with criminal conviction histories, consistent with applicable federal, state, and local law. Regrettably, some countries visited by Parsons Dance have strict entry requirements concerning prior conviction, so we aim to be transparent about our need to request certain historical details for compliance with these requirements, prior to extending offers for employment.
We are actively expanding our inclusion principles to all employment practices within our organization, including hiring, recruiting, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, leave of absence, compensation, benefits, training, and apprenticeship. Parsons Dance strives to make hiring decisions based solely on qualifications, merit, and business needs at the time. At its core, our approach is shaped by a strong respect for each individual. This applies to every aspect of employment – from fair wages, working hours, and freedom of association, to equal opportunities for growth and development within the company.
Parsons Dance received guidance from Betterteam in the creation of the above, striving to achieve the same commitments as industry-leading companies in a wide variety of employment sectors. All hiring standards are reviewed for compliance with our seven pillars of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access, which you can read more about here.
