Benefits

At UMass Memorial Health, every employee is considered a caregiver — because every day, in their own unique way, everyone contributes to the care we provide. As part of our leadership’s caregiving responsibilities, they support the idea that we must first care for our caregivers and be the best place to give care, so that in turn, our caregivers can best care for our patients and help our health system be the best place to get care.

We understand that working in the healthcare field is demanding — and that a healthy work-life balance is critical to how well you’re able to provide time, attention and passion to your job, your loved ones and our patients. Our comprehensive suite of benefits, compensation, development and recognition programs is designed to support our caregivers’ full, well-balanced lives and ensure that your work-life balance is always healthy.

Health and Wellness Coverage

The well-being of our caregivers is a top priority. For most caregivers we offer an employee wellness program and resources to help you stay well with medical, dental, vision, life insurance and flexible spending accounts so they are available when you need them.

Financial Well-Being

Our compensation is very competitive and includes a 401(k) plan with employer match and a 403(b) plan for many caregivers, as well as many more financial benefits like emergency financial assistance, financial coaching, student loan and educational assistance, and support for your ongoing professional development. (These benefits vary by location.)

Supportive Culture

From recognition programs and innovation celebrations to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging initiatives, we take pride in our strong culture of respect and collaboration. We also offer a range of resources to support the physical, emotional and mental well-being of our caregivers. As a Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation Wellbeing First Champion, we work to normalize accessing these support services.

Work-Life Balance

We know our caregivers have lives, too. So we provide a comprehensive employee assistance program, as well as other support services that are inclusive of who you consider your family members to be. In addition, most caregivers have access to generous paid time off so they can spend time with their loved ones.
