People

The heart of Human and Social Services is people.  Therefore we are passionate about serving amazing people, and super-dedicated to mobilizing quality workers who are highly committed to our mission and vision. There is no possible way to achieve mission critical outcomes otherwise. At point of service our passion is fully expressed -- the best workers shine in advancing our mission and casting a contagious vision. This is what it is really about.


Love & Compassion

The passion of Human and Social Services is quality care; but not all care and service is equal. Therefore we promote a special kind of care – an outpouring of love and compassion which is grounded and rooted in the love which we believe comes from God. At its’ core, this kind of love inspires a sacrificial, selfless, and service-oriented promise, aspiring first and foremost to look out for the interests of others by generously giving our very best. When we are generous with our time, talents, and resources the world is changed for the better. We can never out-give the returns we receive when we are generous in life and business.


High Standards of Integrity

The highest standard of Business Enterprise is Social Responsibility. Therefore in business we demonstrate both a corporate and an individual responsibility to set and hold fast to these high standards. With honesty and integrity anchoring our commitments, we will never fall short of best practice in our organization. This value invites personal and professional accountability; it demands social responsibility; and it will always lead to better outcomes throughout the organization.


Continual Improvement

The advancement of Business Enterprise is driven by ongoing Organizational Growth and Change. Therefore in this challenging field of service, while we are constantly tested, we can still improve and do better. A growing culture will invite creativity, drive resourcefulness, and inspire innovation. We desire to encourage learning and ultimately embrace change in order to continually improve and grow at all levels within the organization. A growing mission-centered organization is both living and active, and can always make a difference in the lives of others.


“We believe in the promise of better outcomes whereby our service makes a real difference in the lives of the people we support.”
