Who we are outside of work makes us who we are within the office

We’ve all experienced workplaces that simply expect you to “get the job done,” often without support. At Hansei, we believe employees do their best work when they feel welcomed, supported, and valued. From the moment they join, our team members are entrusted with meaningful responsibility, equipped with the resources they need, and encouraged to take pride in their contributions.

The survey results reflect a culture built on trust, autonomy, and purpose. Employees shared that they feel welcomed from day one, have the tools to succeed, and take pride in Hansei’s contributions to the community. They also highlighted the confidence management places in them, empowering them to do their best without being micromanaged.

 

A Culture of Innovation and Growth

Even before Hansei’s inception, founder Erin Burke experienced the value of learning, growing, and winning together. Today, that philosophy lives in our culture—encouraging every team member to bring “what if we try this?” ideas to the table.

Our team of innovative trailblazers—86% of whom are female—embodies this mindset every day. By prioritizing compassion, patience, and dedication, we’ve fueled steady growth in job opportunities, client services, and technological innovation.

People Power Our Mission

By centering our core values of advocacy and integrity, Hansei recognizes that employees are the driving force behind turning vision into reality. A strong, supported team doesn’t just make Hansei a great place to work—it also improves access to treatment for individuals and families facing addiction and mental health challenges.

At Hansei, recognition like Great Place to Work® is more than an accolade—it’s proof that a culture built on trust, support, and purpose can make a difference both inside and outside the office.
