Our staff is proud to make a positive difference. By offering ‘Something More’, we strive to enhance the lives of our faculty, staff, and students. ‘Something More’ is about improving our processes, offering programs of relevance and importance to the campus community, and extending entertainment dollars through discounts and events. We believe that balance between life at work, and life at home, is essential in order to renew and refresh our minds and bodies, and lead healthier lifestyles. Perhaps most important, ‘Something More’ is our way of saying that KUMC is a great place to work. Join us and make a difference in your corner of KUMC!
In response to the rising cost of gas and increasing detrimental affects to the environment, the University of Kansas Medical Center has developed policies supporting the concept and use of various scheduling arrangements, telecommuting and/or carpooling. Read more about how you can save money by taking the bus or carpooling to work. HR offers discounted bus passes to all state employees. Please direct questions to Glenn James at 8-5080.
Having fun is not only important outside of work, but at work as well, which is why we’ve taken the concept of our events program and established employee appreciation events to thank you for the hard work you do here at KUMC throughout the year. Be it ice cream on a hot day, a return to ’Spring Break’, or a celebration of the harvest in the Fall, we believe that it’s important we all take the occasional moment at work to relax, have a little fun and share in the appreciation of the community we’ve created here at KU Medical Center.
KU Medical Center wants to make certain its employees get the most out of their hard earned money, which is why HR wants you to learn more about the STAR Employee Discount Program. The State Thanks and Recognition (STAR) program is designed to help state employees stretch those extra dollars by taking advantage of available discounts on goods and services. Visit STAR Employee Discount Program to view a complete list of all the discounts that are available to you just for being a State of Kansas employee!
KU Medical Center prides itself on the longevity of it’s employees, which is why we celebrate the 5 year milestones of service with our staff. Our quarterly recognition events bring together our 5, 10 and 15-year employees with those celebrating as much as 30, 35, and 40-years of service! Whether you’re in the single digits, or receiving your 40-year pin from the governor, the time you’ve spent here at KUMC is equally important to all of us!
With KUMC's expansion and growth, many departments are bringing in top candidates from all over the United States. Human Resources realizes that in order to entice our candidates to relocate to Kansas City, it is very important to not only show them the best of our Medical Center but to also show them to best of our great city. Therefore we are pleased to offer an arrangement that will inevitably assist our departments in the recruitment and relocation of key faculty and staff. This arrangement will allow KUMC to enjoy the benefits of a consistent and professional service that will permit each department to focus on their specific jobs rather than worrying about relocation issues.
Our goal is to offer KUMC's employees and their families the opportunity to attend a variety of events throughout the year. Helping you stretch your entertainment dollars, you will enjoy the additional benefit of reduced cost seating/admission as a result of group prices. Whether you are most interested in sporting events or the ballet, KUMC's Work-Life events program has an outing for you! Ticket sales are only available Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
