Exceptional Place to Work - Anonymous employee Hendrick Home For Children Employee Review

The culture is supportive and collaborative, and leadership is approachable and values staff input. From a financial and operational standpoint, the organization is well-managed and committed to doing things the right way. People are encouraged to grow, and the work feels meaningful.

Growth and change are steady and intentional rather than fast-paced.

Hendrick Home has upheld their high standards and reputation of professionalism and integrity since 1939– and will continue to do so for many years to come. The children and families they serve are kept at the center and the heart of all they do. Hendrick Home fosters a culture of growth, compassion, team work, best practices, and accountability. They value their employees and offer an excellent and competitive benefits package that cannot be found elsewhere. Voted Best Non-Profit Workplace for good reason. There is not a single child, family, or employee who enters the home that has not been touched by grace, compassion, hope, healing and love. It’s what they do and they do it well. If you’re going to work in residential child care, Hendrick Home is the place to do it.

Quality is prioritized over speed, do not expect fast decisions or changes. Expect time to process decisions in an intentional and meaningful way. The expectation is to get things right rather than just getting them done quickly. Exceptionalism and excellence is the standard—not the goal. That requires accountability and can create pressure. This requires the ability to accept feedback as an opportunity to grow, strengthen, and protect the well being of the children, families, and organization, rather than as a personal criticism.
