Parsons Leadership Team Participates in Hands-On Philanthropic Workshop

Parsons announced that a group of 350 executives from around the world recently participated in a philanthropic workshop at the corporation’s biennial executive summit. The workshop, known as the Helping Hands Program—led by Odyssey Teams—allowed the Parsons leadership team to explore its strengths and leverage its limitations while collaborating to build prosthetic hands, ultimately “connecting hands, heads, and hearts.” 

Parsons’ leadership team built more than 100 prosthetic hands—each comprising 30 pieces of plastic and metal—that will be distributed to amputees at no cost in one of 65 developing countries.

“Since our founding, Parsons has been committed to giving back to those in need, so this workshop was a good fit for us because it perfectly aligned with our core values of Safety, Quality, Integrity, Diversity, Innovation, and Sustainability,” said Chuck Harrington, Parsons’ Chairman and CEO. “More importantly, the Helping Hands Program not only allowed us to aid people in developing countries, it also taught our team to model true collaboration, commitment, and quality—all of which are necessary to meet our strategic goals and objectives.”

Parsons, celebrating nearly 70 years of growth in the engineering, construction, technical, and professional services industries, is a leader in many diversified markets with a focus on transportation, environmental/infrastructure, and defense/security. Parsons delivers design/design-build, program/construction management, and other professional services packaged in innovative alternative delivery methods to federal, regional, and local government agencies, as well as to private industrial customers worldwide.
