JPMorgan’s strong wellness foundation made pandemic transitions easier

Last year as organizations everywhere scrambled for stability in a pandemic, those with solid wellness foundations struggled less.

Some had already been working to destigmatize mental health issues and champion more equitable childcare solutions at the front of the curve. One example is JPMorgan Chase. The New York City-based financial-holding company, with 260,000 employees, has many business lines and job titles to serve, from the C-suite to bank tellers. “We have a global vision and mission around wellness, which is really to foster a culture of health and wellness throughout the organization,” says global wellness manager Lilly Wyttenbach.

The company has a three-pillar foundation upon which to build its wellness programs, ensuring they stay grounded in the organization’s wellness culture. It’s a proven approach, having been recognized repeatedly for its work. Forbes named JPMorgan Chase one of America’s Best Large Employers for 2021, and it made Forbes’ top 100 of America’s Best Employers for Women for 2020.
