The mission-driven concept defines the value system and culture of MDR. In all activities, Mission Driven Research employees maintain a focus on the big picture perspective. This ensures that all tasks are approached with an adherence to excellence and that efforts are expended toward driving the fulfillment of the overall mission objectives.

GO the Extra Mile

Put simply, Mission Driven Research employees are expected to “work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” (Colossians 3:23, ESV). To do so, employees work hard to ensure that their best effort is made to complete their work in ways that are technically accurate, professionally presented, and quickly corrected when found to be in error.

GROW Personally & Professionally

MDR is deeply committed to investing in all of our employees, fostering growth in every aspect of life. We prioritize removing barriers to enable our team members to live missionally. This commitment drives competitive pay, exceptional benefits, and a supportive culture. By creating an environment where employees can thrive both at work and at home, we empower them to focus on what truly matters. 

As a result, our workplace is filled with loyal, dedicated team members who consistently recognize MDR as a top employer—earning us repeated honors as a Best Place to Work in Huntsville.

GIVE Generously

The defining aspect of Mission Driven Research is the focus on providing opportunities for employees to team together to make a positive impact on their world. As a result, the company provides and encourages the use of paid time off to participate in service projects that can be corporately or individually initiated activities.

 MDR sets the standard for the employees by automatically contributing a portion of all profits to many charitable activities, primarily through Huntsville-local nonprofit Mission Driven Ministries (MDM). Through its partnership with MDM, MDR supports service and fundraising projects in a variety of ways locally, nationally, and internationally.
