LSS Culture
When you’re looking for a new position, you want to find an organization that offers you the best overall package, but you also need to consider the heart of the organization. At Lutheran Social Services (LSS), we take both responsibilities seriously.
We take pride in offering our employees extras beyond your salary, live our commitment to a corporate heart each day, honor flexible work schedules, strive for belonging, and openly share information among our employees.
Beyond your salary
Your salary is just one part of your overall employment package at LSS – add to that our many perks.
LSS pays more than 80 percent of eligible employees’ individual and family health care insurance premiums. Plus, we offer part-time or flex-time employees (scheduled to work 30+ hours per week) health care benefits. LSS also offers employees up to 24 days of paid time-off (PTO), which encompasses time off for ill dependents. Learn more about our outstanding perks.
Corporate heart
The heart of LSS revolves around improving a community’s needs and practices. Another key area of focus is developing and caring for our employees. With that comes a commitment to fiscal responsibility, values, ethics, and integrity in everything we do.
Flexible work day
Sometimes your life requires flexibility. We understand that and, if possible, we will work to accommodate your individual request for a flexible, non-traditional work arrangement. We may be able to offer flexibility in your choice in beginning and end hours, the number of hours worked per day, a reduced schedule during certain times of the year, and a change from full- to part-time status and choice in your shift. We also extend choices for breaks and when to take meals.
Create Belonging
Everyone deserves to work for an organization where you truly feel like you belong. Creating a sense of belonging for everyone who walks through our doors is integral to fulfilling our vision of healthy communities filled with people using their God-given gifts to serve. Lutheran Social Services values every individuals’s unique background, experiences, and skills, whether it be our staff and volunteers or the thousands of people we serve every year. Fostering an inclusive work environment where everyone belongs is vital to our success.
Open communication
We also believe strongly in open communication both internally and externally. Our intranet site LSS Connect provides frequent and informative internal communications to all colleagues. Plus, you’ll find the latest news on our Facebook page devoted to Foster Care and a general LSS Facebook page. You’ll also find videos posted to YouTube that capture key messages and news.
Culture of Quality
Quality is one of the cornerstones of the culture at LSS. Our organization recognizes the importance and value of continuous quality improvement and always strives to provide services with excellence. The feedback from clients, community partners, and staff as well as program outcome data is collected to inform and guide process and program improvements.
