Over the years, Parker has developed a culture which emphasizes a commitment to excellence and integrity and a special concern for its customers’ welfare.  Parker’s continued success in serving its customers and suppliers, employees, shareholders and the general public depends, as it has in the past, upon each individual employee’s ethical commitment. Because of our ethical standards, the Parker name is recognized around the world as a symbol of quality in motion-control products. We are committed to providing our employees an empowered, results-oriented and values driven work environment with equal opportunity for learning and personal growth.  Creativity, innovation, and personal accountability are essential for improving the effectiveness of Parker Hannifin Corporation.   Employees are provided the same respect within the organization that they are expected to share with every Parker customer, internally and externally. At Parker, we believe that an empowered, results-oriented organization excels at engaging highly talented people of different backgrounds and perspectives.  Respecting and embracing these differences enhances our position in the global marketplace.  In order to remain the world leader in motion and control, we have to be flexible enough to align ourselves into whatever teams our markets require; and to unify every strength we possess to serve our customer and outpace our competitors.
