Doane offers a comprehensive benefits package to its faculty and staff. Employee benefits are an important part of your total compensation, and at Doane, you have the flexibility to choose the benefits that are right for your life. You can request a one-on-one benefits consultation during onboarding, when a life event happens, and whenever you need help managing your benefits.
CURRENT EMPLOYEES can conveniently access all their benefits information and other resources through our internal Training & Resource Hub, known as 'The Hub.' Doane University is dedicated to providing strong support and valuable resources to help you thrive.
