Struggled to fit in - Administrative Assistant The Broad Institute Employee Review

Hi - this is Gillian Mackay-Smith, Associate Director, HR Special Projects. Thank you so much for writing a review, and for your great feedback about our benefits and our work environment. I’m sorry to hear that you had a hard time finding a work/life balance in your time at Broad as an administrative assistant. We recommend that those who may be experiencing these types of challenges reach out to their HR Partner or our BroadLife office to work with the employee and their manager to determine a mutually favorable path forward. In terms of career development support, our HR Partners or our People Development office can be helpful with career development steps, and we offer 1:1 coaching with an administrative career coach who is well versed in Broad’s various career paths. Additionally, the ASPC (Administrative Support Professional Community) is our affinity group for administrative support staff, and provides professional development and team building opportunities.
