Work/Life

Boston University values your commitment in providing the resources and services that maintain our world-class university. You and your work are an integral part of BU, and we strive to provide you with competitive, comprehensive, and meaningful work/life benefits that reward and sustain your professional and home lives.

As a faculty or staff member, you have many responsibilities, but, as an individual, you have many more. Juggling them can be hard. Boston University understands this and provides you with a number of programs and services designed to help you balance all your roles.

As an employee, you’ll find the Changes in Your Work & Family section particularly helpful in planning your benefits in the event of a work or life change. If you are a parent, review the available family resources. And if you or your dependents are considering an undergraduate or graduate degree, take advantage of the tuition benefits. Also, be sure to go over the Flexible Benefits Program, Long-Term Care Insurance, and Time Off benefits. These benefits and the others listed in this section support all aspects of your busy life.
