A Distinct Community
Our mission is to help extraordinary people achieve great things and we live our distinctive culture by embracing our four Defining Leadership Principles: Question the Status Quo, Confidence Without Attitude, Students Always, and Beyond Yourself. Joining Haas means being part of a community of lifelong learners. Be sure to read our Haas principles and culture page, as these are at the core of what we do and how we operate, inspiring us to make a difference. Our 300 staff champion new ideas, collaborate, continually learn, and take initiative to think beyond themselves. Characterized by the high quality standards of their work, Berkeley Haas staff bring their diverse talents, knowledge, and experience to work everyday. This dedication to excellence is imbedded in our commitment to Diversity at Haas.

Haas employees have a lot to say about our work and why we are proud to do it.

For more information and a sample of these resources, consider some of the programs that our People and Culture Organization Development Team offer.
