Serving the Harbor Hospice Mission
At Harbor Hospice, our work culture is rooted in a simple but powerful commitment: mission first. Every day, our team comes to work with a shared purpose—to provide compassionate, whole-person care that supports the body, mind, and spirit of those we serve. That sense of purpose creates an environment where employees are connected not only to the work, but also to one another.
As a mid-sized organization, Harbor Hospice offers the best of both worlds: the professional resources and support needed to do meaningful work, along with the personal connection that allows people to know one another beyond their job descriptions. This culture of belonging is reflected in our most recent Gallup employee engagement survey, where Harbor Hospice achieved 92% employee engagement—well above healthcare benchmarks.
Supporting Our Team Wherever They Are
Strong communication is central to that experience. Whether employees work in the office, in the field, or in a hybrid environment, daily huddles, regular one-on-one meetings with supervisors, and 24/7 support infrastructure help ensure staff feel heard and supported. Leaders intentionally ask, “How are you?” What is going well? What could be better? What tools or resources do you need to do your job well?
Continuing Education
Harbor Hospice also recognizes that flexibility and growth matter. Employees benefit from options such as varied shift lengths, reasonable patient caseloads, professional development through Relias, CEUs, and certification support, and career pathways and succession planning. Promoting from within is part of our culture—and our leadership reflects that commitment.
Recognition is another important part of who we are. Through peer recognition, Mission Awards, Woo Hoos, and the Bright Idea Award, employees are celebrated for the compassion, creativity, and commitment they bring to their work. These moments reinforce what makes Harbor Hospice special: people who care deeply about the mission and about each other.
Providing Balance
Our commitment to employee well-being extends beyond the workplace through partnerships with local organizations that promote health and wellness, including Neal Fitness, the YMCA Live Well Lab, and Pine Rest Employee Assistance Program. Social activities such as picnics, holiday parties at the Sociabowl, and gatherings at local destinations also create opportunities for connection, fun, and relationship-building.
At Harbor Hospice, culture is not a program—it is the way we live our mission together. By supporting employees, listening actively, recognizing contributions, and investing in growth and well-being, we create a workplace where people can do their best work while making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients, families, and our community.
