Our holistic approach to benefits helps you grow, recharge and care for yourself—and the people who matter most—at any life stage. From health, wellness and retirement to time off and educational assistance, we offer thoughtful benefits and many evidence-based perks designed to help you live your best life while doing the work of a lifetime.
No matter your age, if you're on your own or the head of a household, managing your health with confidence is key to thriving. Our high-quality health care options help you navigate the joys, challenges and responsibilities that come with any life stage—so you can focus on living a full and healthy life, whatever that looks like to you.
We’ve been into wellness since before it was cool. From our world-class exercise facilities where you can grab a lunchtime workout to sustainability and environmental responsibility programs that make it easy to live your values, we make holistic wellness a priority, so you can, too.
We know the most important days in your life may be the ones you spend out of the office. So whether you need to recharge, get well or care for a family member, our leave package is designed to help you focus on the not-work things that matter most. So take that dream vacation, spend that holiday unplugged and present, and take that time to bond with your family’s newest arrival.
No matter where you are in life, each stage comes with new demands on your time. And our lifestyle support helps you manage it all with less stress. From child care resources, parent education, elder or caregiving support and transportation programs, our approach is why Stanford was named one of the top five employers, nationally, for work-life balance and job satisfaction by the Chronicle of Higher Education.
What better way to say "thank you" for investing in Stanford’s future than by investing in yours? Our retirement planning benefits include 1:1 financial counseling, retirement savings plans and other services to help you prepare for a good life after Stanford— whether that’s years away or just around the corner.
