What is it like to work at KVC Nebraska?
Four main values drive our culture. Learn about them by hovering over the statements below. Meet some of our employees and read their incredible stories of impact here.
We are family.
We care about each other’s holistic well-being. We listen to and trust one another, learn from each other and welcome new ideas. We aim to understand the role everyone plays and work together toward a common goal. This means leadership and team members alike give and get feedback. You’re never on your own. Through it all, we’re a family that works together.
We work because it matters.
Every year, KVC helps more than 60,000 children, adults and families. Plus, thousands more indirectly benefit from our education, training and consultation work. That is no small feat. It’s important to stay focused on why we as an organization exist. We do what we do because everyone deserves to be and feel safe and connected to their family and community. We care about the quality of our work and are committed to excellence, whether the task is big or small. We avoid things that might have a negative impact on our work. We set the organization and each other up for success. We are committed to innovation and new solutions, no matter where they come from.
We innovate.
Innovation is such a big part of our DNA and how we have grown. As an organization, we seek out gaps in services to children, adults and families, then take an entrepreneurial approach to problem solve and fill them. In doing so, we implement research-backed solutions and create new business models. We move into new regions and take on risk. Internally, we prioritized and institutionalized this spirit of innovation by creating the KVC Institute, of which every staff member is a part. That means new and different ideas are always welcome at the table. We believe great ideas come from everywhere, and you never know what innovative solutions your next idea could lead to.
We celebrate.
Working hard is important and celebrating that hard work is equally so. We are proud of the work we do. From verbal recognition at staff meetings to shout-outs in our monthly newsletter to the annual KVC Story Contest, we strive to constantly recognize the good work KVC does and the individual acts that make it possible. We want to make KVC a great place to work, where successes are celebrated and each team member is supported and cared for. We are always looking for new ways to recognize great work.
