Feedback from employees is encouraged, with a convenient online suggestion portal, executive tabling events, daily huddles, staff meetings and leader rounding. Stony Brook provides highly competitive pay and benefits, having invested more than $50 million in non-contractual salary increases for more than 4,000 employees over the past three years. The hospital also commits to work-life balance via compressed work weeks, self-scheduling, and remote work options where practical.
