Work/Life Balance
Helping you win at work. And at life.
At The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, our employees are our most valued asset. We heard the kind of demands our employees face for their time and that solutions are needed to make juggling work life and home life easier. The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is committed to creating a healthy, flexible and productive work environment that allows both a challenging career and a balance between work/life responsibilities.
Our Work/Life Balance Initiative was designed to actively partner with our employees and promote work/life balance. We want to help our employees and their families with benefits and other assistance needed to improve their quality of life.
Our Work/Life Balance Initiative offers a full range of services and programs. From keeping your job skills current, to finding someone to paint your house, to figuring out your finances, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia has a program, resource or tool that can help.
