Johns Hopkins University offers comprehensive benefits and programs to help faculty and staff improve their health, become financially secure, manage stress, and ensure their family is protected. Those benefits programs support everyone at any stage of their life, which is why Human Resources and Benefits & Worklife are sharing a new way to look at them: During Annual Enrollment, which runs from Oct. 15 to 31, you'll see the theme Benefits for the Journey Ahead and information on how programs support individuals at each phase of their life.
