Working at HFLI

HFLI‘s enthusiastic team comes from education, design, community organizations, and business. We all have different roles and life experiences that we leverage when we work together and mobilize diverse collaborators to drive visionary change and ambitious outcomes.

It’s fulfilling work, with great people, dynamic environments, and competitive pay and benefits. All in a culture of care for the whole person. That care shows up in a commitment to maintaining a mobile and flexible work place. Care for family time. Personal and shared DEI journeys. Providing the tools needed to do the job. A holiday calendar that reflects the diversity of our team. And more.

And we are big on maintaining something that we call “sharing fries.” It started with a ritual: the communal plate of delicious lunchtime fries in the The Henry Ford’s employee dining room. Today, this saying symbolizes our values and ways of being: generosity, trust, a sense of play, and enjoying time and experiences together.
