Employee Benefits
We understand that when making any important purchase or decision, choice and cost are crucial. Your benefit plan selection is no different.
GW is committed to offering its employees a comprehensive benefits package —including health, dental, life insurance, retirement and tuition programs — at a competitive cost. We believe that "one size may not fit all." Therefore, as a GW employee, you’ll be given the opportunity to choose from a variety of programs that will allow you, and your family, to determine the "best fit."
The choice is yours.
