Benefits
Brigham and Women's wouldn't be able to attract the finest employees in the nation by offering anything short of an exceptional benefits package. This includes:
Competitive compensation As one of the nation's most distinguished hospitals, it's only proper that we offer the kinds of salaries you'd expect from a healthcare leader. While salaries vary from position to position, rest assured that they are always competitive with like positions in other area hospitals, and in many cases exceed those of area hospitals.
Generous paid time-off program BWH's unique Benefit Time program is a flexible paid time-off program giving you up to 29 days off every year — and 33 days off after 7 years of employment. This includes vacation, holidays, and sick time. You also accrue 5 days a year into an extended sick leave bank. This time is available to you should you become ill and need more than five days off.
Flexible work schedules promoting work/life balance We are committed to making sure your time away from work is as rewarding as your career with us. To that end, we've created flexible work schedules that promote a work/life balance you won't find at other hospitals.

Health insurance BWH offers some of the best healthcare plans available, with many affordable options designed to fit the needs of you and your family. These include:
- Partners Plus
- Partners Value- This plan is free to benefit eligible employees and their dependents after one year of service!
- Blue Cross/Blue Shield
- Harvard Pilgrim Health Plan
- Neighborhood Health Plan
- Tufts Associated Health Plan.
The Partners Plus and Partners Value plan is administered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield and encompasses a very large and comprehensive network of top notch hospitals located throughout New England, including BWH!
All deductions are pre-tax and extend to you, your family, eligible dependents, and same-sex domestic partners. Of course, if you're already covered under someone else's plan, you can opt out of BWH's health coverage and receive a supplement to your paycheck instead.
Tuition reimbursement As a teaching hospital, we are firm believers in the value of education. That's why we extend generous tuition reimbursement to all our full-time and part-time benefits-eligible employees who have been employed with us longer than 6 months.
For hospital-related non-degree courses, undergraduate degrees, or graduate degrees, reimbursement is $2,000 per year for full-time (36 hours per week) employees, and $1,000 for part-time (20-35 hours per week) employees.
For job related certifications or job-related continuing education courses, reimbursement is $1,000 per year for full-time (36 hours per week) employees, and $500 for part-time (20-35 hours per week) employees.
Life insurance We believe in the security life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance can provide. That's why benefits-eligible employees receive insurance equal to their salary, payable to anyone they choose. Of course, as your salary increases, so does the value of your policy. You may also purchase additional insurance coverage for yourself and your dependents.
Long-term disability Offered at no charge to employees working more than 20 hours per week, our excellent long-term disability coverage will allow you to receive up to 60% of your monthly income should you become sick or disabled.
Flexible spending accounts All employees are eligible to open flexible spending accounts that will reimburse you for out-of-pocket dependent or healthcare costs. Contributions to these accounts aren't subject to federal, state, or local taxes.
Tax Sheltered Annuities Allows you to save money and plan for retirement through pre-tax payroll deductions. Accounts may be set up through Fidelity, Valic and TIAA-Cref.
Transportation This program applies to all Brigham & Women’s Hospital employees(this includes both per diem and temporary employees). BWH offers a 50% subsidy on all MBTA passes. You may purchase one discounted T-pass each month. Monthly discounted MBTA passes are available through a pre-tax payroll deduction. Payroll deductions are taken out of the 4th paycheck of the month and the T-passes are distributed with your last paycheck of the month
Professional Growth All employees are encouraged to participate in a variety of classes and opportunities offered by both Workforce Development and Organizational Development and Learning that will give them the tools needed to be successful and to grow with the organization. These classes include: time management,continuing education, self assessment and career counseling to name a few.
