h3>BWH Among Best Places to Work in Health Care

BWH made Becker’s Hospital Review’s list of 100 Best Places to work in Health Care for 2010. BWH was selected because it offers a flexible benefit program that includes paid time off. Employees can also accrue five days per year into an extended sick leave bank should they become ill and need to be away for more than five days. BWH contributes 100 percent toward a pension in a cash balance retirement plan, and employees are vested after three years of employment. In addition, BWH also offers dependent care and health care spending accounts and retiree medical savings accounts to help employees save and pay for health benefits during retirement. In addition to subsidized fitness center memberships, the hospital also offers access to back-up childcare for children ages 8-12 years.
