“At Fetzer, I feel free to be my full authentic self.”

Nathan Moore, Organizational Culture

We recognize that contributing to the creation of a more loving world starts with how we treat and care for our staff and workplace. At Fetzer, we practice what we believe. We model the loving world we’re all working to achieve. Our goal is to create an environment that welcomes our employees’ full selves in our work together.

Our founder John Fetzer believed that for the Fetzer Institute to succeed it had to be more than a collection of individuals. Instead, it had to be a cohesive community that was bound together by a larger purpose.

For three hours each week, our full staff stops work and either together or individually cultivates their spiritual path — however they define it. We explore personal spiritual interests, share new ideas and work, build connections with teammates and partners, and learn about topics from emotional intelligence to mindfulness to spiritual parenting. We believe that providing the space to develop such a community will help us become a more effective organization by creating a culture of love and authenticity. Ultimately, we hope that this intentional effort will help us embody the work we aspire to do in the world.

The Fetzer Institute has four organizational values that guide us.

Love.

Love is our foundational value, as John Fetzer believed: ‘We simply must have love as an institution; without it, our efforts will fail.

Trust.

We seek to live and work together in relationships of trust, which is the building block for authenticity.

Authenticity.

Authentic expression is core to our culture, fostering belonging and building a spiritual foundation for a loving world.

Belonging.

Belonging, rooted in historic faith traditions, is our birthright and key to achieving true human flourishing.

We want to enable employees and their loved ones to lead healthy, spiritual and fulfilling lives. A glimpse of some of our offerings are included here.

“We’re providing resources, tools and the opportunities for people to grow and develop and deepen their own spiritual path. “

Brad Miller, Finance

We dedicate three hours each week to nurturing personal and professional growth through meaningful spiritual practices and capacity-building activities.

These sessions include exploring values like joy, grief, love, and trust, engaging in somatic practices, diving into world religions, enhancing conversational skills, practicing contemplation, and fostering discussions on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This unique benefit helps build a stronger sense of community, purpose, and connection for our employees.

What if I don't see an open position?

We’re always excited to connect with people who feel called to help build the spiritual foundation for a loving world. If you don’t see an open role that fits your experience, we still encourage you to reach out or check back soon — new opportunities arise as our work continues to evolve.

Are the benefits good at Fetzer?

Yes. Fetzer is committed to supporting the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Our benefits are designed to reflect that commitment, with generous health coverage, flexible schedules, paid leave, professional development, wellness and spiritual resources, and more. Our goal is to nurture a community of freedom and shared flourishing for every member of our team.

Can I work from home?

We offer flexible work arrangements depending on the role needs. Most positions follow a hybrid model that includes two in-office days — typically Tuesdays and Wednesdays — on our main campus in Kalamazoo, Michigan. We believe that trust, belonging, and authenticity grow through intentional connection — both in-person and virtually. As a learning organization, we’re always experimenting and evolving our approach to find what best supports our people and our mission.

What are the core values of Fetzer?

Our work is grounded in four core values: Love, Trust, Authenticity, and Belonging.

These values guide how we show up for one another and the world. We believe that living into these values — individually and collectively — is essential for personal transformation and for helping create a more loving, spiritually grounded society.
