The Many Benefits of Working at Harvard University 

Harvard offers a wide range of benefits and resources that reflects an institution built around people, with a deep respect for their differences and needs. 

Benefits and Perks:  The breadth of Harvard’s offerings set the University apart and invites comparison with the best employers in the Boston area. The University provides medical and dental coverage for you and your family, retirement plans, generous time off, a Tuition Assistance Plan – and much more.

Learning and Development:  Education is at the heart of the Harvard experience, not only for students, but also for all members of the Harvard community. Harvard’s Center for Workplace Development (CWD) offers a wide range of courses designed to increase your knowledge, skills, and overall success.

In addition, the University encourages lifelong learning by subsidizing undergraduate and graduate-level courses taken at Harvard and elsewhere through the Tuition Assistance Plan (TAP). TAP is a great way to enhance career skills or pursue a personal academic interest.

Work/Life Resources: Harvard has long recognized the importance of having a healthy balance between work, personal life, and academic pursuits. Its commitment to quality of life has been recognized by national and local organizations such as Working Mother and Conceive magazines, the AARP, the Dave Thomas Foundation and the Boston Business Journal. Ensuring balance starts with offering exciting and meaningful career opportunities matched with opportunities to grow personally, spend time with friends and family, and explore life.
