Our people

Our Team members are the engine behind our success

Our Team in Action

We work closely together to make a fun and engaging environment that not only gives us purpose, but ultimately helps our customers succeed.

Our Team Members never sit still. We could be out building homes through Habitat for Humanity, having fun with customers and vendors at our annual Harbor Summit, taking care of our community through our HarborCares program, or just cleaning the road.

Whatever it is, we do what we can to make it fun!

Path of Progress

We want to see our Team Members succeed! And we love to promote from within. Our Path of Progress program is designed to turn a job into a career. Here are just a few examples of our team members progressing within Harbor.

our team members talk values

"To be genuine, means to be authentic and to be your real self. When we are genuine it is easy to foster the trust of peers, friends, and in our case, customers. Also, being genuine means you are honest and respectful in every situation. When we are sincere, it shows others we aren’t afraid of what they think, but we are there to listen, help, and be a friendly face."

Jathan P.

"A resourceful individual can take a disadvantage and turn it into an advantage. It means being creative, determined and unstoppable. It means asking for help, not waiting for help. Trying new things can come with failures and setbacks but not allowing it to stop you. Being resourceful is something to be proud of and if used correctly it can take you very far in life."

Janet M.

"In every task we perform in life, there is always room for improvement. I believe showing up every day hungry and eager to learn more helps create success for my fellow team members. I stay motivated knowing with every improvement I make, I can also encourage others to do the same creating a strong, supportive environment that cannot be beat! I believe we can foster motivation in everything we do."

Rob S.

"Friendly to me means to approach everyone with a positive attitude and respect. A smile goes way beyond just a simple gesture, it welcomes a safe approach. Friendliness has helped me build trust and fortify long lasting relationships in both my personal and work life."
