Bridging Benefits is an online webinar series designed to give Pitt employees advanced insight into the many programs and services offered through our Benefits Department that provide value to you and your family.

The topics we cover have been prioritized and designed to answer some of the most frequent inquiries we receive from University employees.

Our goal? Simple:

To maximize the value and unlock the full potential of your benefits.

Each month, our subject matter experts will take a deeper dive into a specific benefit, to answer your questions like:

• What it's all about?
• Who benefits from it, who's eligible?
• How to enroll?
• Where to find out more information?
• What have your co-workers experienced?

They'll also take time at the end of each session to answer additional questions you may still have.
