DEI in our own words
We asked Parametric team members from different backgrounds to share a bit about themselves.
Here are their stories.
Employee Networking Groups
Employee Networking Groups (ENGs) are employer-recognized groups of employees who share the concerns of a common race, ethnicity, ability, military status, gender, national origin, or sexual orientation. ENGs help to create a more diverse and inclusive culture while offering opportunities for career advancement, networking with peers, and ways to contribute to business goals.
The Women’s Leadership Exchange is committed to empowering and developing women at all levels of our business.
The disAbility network creates a vehicle to discuss opportunities, key issues, and challenges while also raising awareness of people with disabilities within the wider Parametric community.
The Families network provides support, resources, education, and networking opportunities to working parents, families, and caregivers.
