The Merrill Edge Client Experience team enjoyed getting active by participating in a team photo scavenger hunt. Their two teams (the Active Traders and Experience the Edge) that participated in our annual Get Active! activity challenge were provided a list of 40 items that they might encounter while they were out “getting active” and were encouraged to take selfies with these items. Sharing photos motivated these virtual teams to get active and stay connected.

Our integrated approach to wellness

Supporting all aspects of our employees’ wellness – physical, emotional and financial – is a critical component of being a great place to work. With the wide range of benefits and programs available, employees have the resources they need to be well at every stage of life and plan for the future.
 

Examples of benefits and programs available to our U.S. employees are below. Similar offerings are available in our other locations across the globe. Your Global Talent Acquisition specialist can share more information about the specific benefits available in your area.
 

Physical wellness

  • We offer quality health and insurance benefits and continue to provide wellness programs and resources, such as annual health screenings and the Get Active! challenge to provide employees access to resources for a healthy lifestyle and help manage health care costs.
     

Emotional wellness

  • When life gets challenging, employees have access to our Employee Assistance Program, which provides free, 24/7 support for employees and anyone in their household.
  • U.S. employees have access to industry-leading leave for new parents and back-up child and adult care is available when regular arrangements aren’t available.
  • We have enhanced our paid bereavement leave across the globe to an industry-leading 20 days for full-time employees who lose a spouse, partner or child.
  • Our Life Event Services team provides personalized connections to resources and benefits by tapping internal and external experts in the moments that matter most, including retirement; grieving the death of a loved one; impacted by domestic violence; undergoing a gender transition; or being impacted by natural/manmade disasters.
     

Financial wellness

  • We offer eligible U.S. employees up to 5% of eligible pay in 401(k) company-matching contributions, plus 2% or 3% in annual contributions (based on years of service).
