Work/Life at Harvard School of Public Health

Harvard University is committed to providing effective policies, benefits, and services to help faculty achieve their career goals while meeting their family responsibilities. Faculty “quality of life” — or how faculty across the University experience their workload, professional climate, opportunities, ability to manage work and personal responsibilities, and overall connection with the Harvard environment — greatly impacts career success.

HSPH community members may contact Nina Dickerman, Work/Life Program Manager, (ndickerm@hsph.harvard.edu ~ 617-432-7448), for assistance with work/life issues.  Nina closely collaborates with the University Office of Work/Life and maintains a relationship with Harvard University’s Faculty Development and Diversity Office to provide a bridge between the multiple programs available to HSPH community members.
