Personalize your benefits
When you think about your benefits, the first thing that might pop into your mind is health insurance or time away. As a Stanford employee, you also have access to dozens of other services that are either free or provided at a special rate just for you.
When your home life is in order, you can bring your best self to work. We believe that not all employees have the same needs. So in addition to "core" benefits like health insurance, we offer what we call “voluntary benefits,” such as pet insurance or identity theft protection, where enrollment is optional—and valuable—to those who need it.
You also have access to Stanford Sweeteners, which include 100 reasons why it is “sweet” to be part of the Stanford community. These include discounts and services related to your commute, your professional development, your family care needs, your wellness goals and Stanford’s unique facilities and attractions.
Are you taking advantage of all the benefits and rewards we have to offer?
