In behavioral health, outcomes are shaped not only by clinical expertise, but by the environment in which care is delivered. At Midwest Behavioral Health Center (MBHC), the belief is clear: when professionals feel supported, respected, and trusted, they are better equipped to provide exceptional care.
Becoming an employer of choice is not about branding. It is firmly rooted in building a culture where people can thrive—personally and professionally—while advancing a shared mission of mental wellness and community impact.
Defining an Employer of Choice
Across industries, research consistently shows that workplace culture is one of the strongest predictors of engagement and retention. According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), organizations that invest in positive culture experience higher employee satisfaction and long-term stability.
In behavioral health, where the work is emotionally demanding and deeply human, this connection is even more pronounced.
At MBHC, the concept of “Employer of Choice” is grounded in six core components.
A Positive, Intentional Culture
Culture does not emerge by accident. It is shaped through consistent leadership, shared values, and everyday interactions. MBHC is committed to cultivating a workplace rooted in safety, respect, and trust—where individuals feel psychologically secure and professionally valued.
Growth and Professional Development
Behavioral health professionals are lifelong learners. MBHC prioritizes ongoing development by supporting continuous learning, skill-building, and professional growth. Development is viewed not simply as advancement, but as a pathway to greater confidence, effectiveness, and fulfillment.
Competitive Compensation Within a Broader Commitment
Fair and competitive compensation is an important component of employment, but it is not the sole driver of satisfaction in behavioral health careers. MBHC recognizes that purpose, stability, and support are equally essential to sustaining meaningful work over time.
Meaningful Work With Lasting Impact
Behavioral health offers the opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and families. Every role within MBHC contributes to that purpose. The organization seeks to ensure that team members feel connected to the impact of their work and aligned with the mission it serves.
Strong, Transparent Leadership
Trust begins with leadership. MBHC is committed to transparency, ethical decision-making, and open communication. Leadership is viewed as a responsibility to provide clarity, consistency, and support—especially in complex and evolving environments.
Work-Life Balance and Employee Wellness
Employee wellness is not treated as a perk, but as a foundation. By encouraging balance, respecting boundaries, and addressing burnout proactively, MBHC aims to create an environment where professionals can sustain both excellence and compassion over the long term.
A Commitment to Inclusive Excellence
Beyond our core pillars, MBHC is dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment where every employee—regardless of background, race, or identity—feels a true sense of belonging. We know that a diverse team leads to richer collaboration and allows us to better serve the unique needs of our community. When you join MBHC, you are joining a team that values your unique lived experience.
“We believe that the quality of care we provide to our community starts with how we care for our own team. Our goal is to create an environment where passion meets purpose, and where our team feels empowered to make a real difference. When our staff feels supported and valued, that compassion naturally flows down to our clients.” – Kenneth Weber, CEO of Midwest Behavioral Health Center
