Benefits

We manage the relationships with plan providers to ensure faculty, staff and retirees have access to quality programs and services that support their health and retirement savings goals.

Health & Life + Voluntary Benefits

Health & Life manages the programs and vendors related to the health and life benefits offered to full and part-time benefits-eligible employees. These include medical, dental, vision, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts and life insurance. Compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the requirement to offer medical coverage to eligible contingent workers is also managed by this group. A suite of voluntary/optional benefits are also overseen by this group, including free identity theft protection, pet insurance, and more.

Retirement Savings Programs

Retirement savings supports employees by ensuring a variety of investment strategies and resources are available throughout their Stanford careers. This group leads the planning and execution of all retirement programs (SCRP, SRAP and 457(b)) and manages the vendor partnerships.
