Rockefeller University is dedicated to fostering a healthy work/life balance for all employees, recognizing that a supportive environment is crucial for overall well-being and productivity. Our comprehensive wellness programs help staff manage their professional and personal responsibilities effectively. Regular workshops and resources on stress management, time management, and mental health are made available to ensure our team members feel valued and supported. By prioritizing work/life balance, we aim to cultivate a positive and sustainable workplace culture that benefits both our employees and the institution as a whole.
Well-being & Recreation
Rockefeller University is committed to fostering a community where physical and mental well-being are supported as essential parts of a healthy, productive work life. Through a combination of accessible health services, wellness resources, and opportunities for movement and recreation on campus, we aim to create an environment that encourages balance, resilience, and long-term well-being for everyone on campus.
Time Management & Workload Support
Rockefeller University recognizes that scientific research can be fast-paced and demanding, and we aim to support employees in navigating those challenges. While we offer targeted training in time management and productivity strategies, we also encourage teams to communicate openly about priorities, deadlines, and workload shifts. By promoting realistic goal-setting, shared problem-solving, and regular check-ins between employees and supervisors, we strive to help our community manage responsibilities in a way that feels sustainable—even in a dynamic research environment.
A Supportive Work Environment
Rockefeller University is committed to creating a work environment where employees feel supported, respected, and equipped to succeed. In addition to fostering open communication around workload and expectations, we encourage a collaborative culture where questions, learning, and curiosity are part of everyday work. While flexibility is offered whenever possible, our broader goal is to cultivate an environment where employees can grow, share ideas, and feel confident navigating the challenges of a dynamic scientific setting.
Community & Campus Life
Rockefeller University fosters a strong sense of community through a variety of campus events, celebrations, and opportunities for employees to connect outside their day-to-day work. With scenic outdoor areas, gathering spaces, and a calendar full of activities, employees can easily engage with colleagues and feel part of a vibrant, supportive community.
New York City Life & Off-Campus Connections
Rockefeller University’s location in New York City offers employees opportunities to engage with the city’s cultural, recreational, and outdoor spaces beyond campus. The University supports exploration of the city through perks such as free admission to MoMA and discounts on Unlimited Biking rentals and Wildlife Conservation Society venues, including the Bronx Zoo, New York Aquarium, and Central Park Zoo. Community groups and employee-led organizations also organize off-campus activities such as visits to museums, outings to Central Park, rock-climbing sessions, and participation in the JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge, creating opportunities to connect with colleagues while exploring the city together. New York City events and activities are also highlighted each week in the HR newsletter, The Human Element, helping employees discover new experiences and build connections.
