New faculty and staff

Welcome to UBC!

When it comes to your benefits programs, our team believes there are “benefits of knowing”. Life’s transitions can happen quickly and awareness of how and where to look for information will ensure you make the most of your benefits programs.

To help support your life and make sure you have the information you need, we have put in place a number of resources for you to use. Whether it is online and print resources, or a direct connection to a HR professional, we are working to make your program information easier to understand and access.
