Care starts here: Personalized employee mental health for every journey
Meaningful work starts with feeling supported. We believe caring for people includes caring for mental and emotional well-being—because when people feel their best, they can do their best work for patients, communities and one another.
That commitment reflects a broader belief at J&J: health is everything, and supporting employees is essential to the work of changing the future of healthcare.
Guided by Our Credo, we aim to create an inclusive environment where people can find purpose, grow their careers and get support for life inside and outside of work.
Taking time for your well-being is crucial to ensure you’re at your best for the moments that matter. The health and wellness of our employees, especially mental health, is a top priority for me.
Support that meets people where they are
Mental health and well-being isn't something you simply “have” or “don’t have.”
Rather, it exists along a continuum—from a thriving state to coping or struggling—based on life events, stressors and support systems. So we offer that support in different ways and for different moments. That includes confidential counseling and guidance, practical help during major life events, crisis support, and resources that can help employees build resilience over time.
Support includes our Employee Assistance Program & CARE Services—Confidential, Accessible, Responsive and Engaged—designed to make it easier to get help when it matters most.
“There are many times in my life where I've had to prioritize my mental health and well-being,” said Tangie J., a director at J&J. “But in certain situations, throughout my life, that hasn't been enough and the Employee Assistance Program has tremendously helped me to get into a place where I can thrive and be myself.”
Stories like Tangie’s reflect the kind of environment we work to create—one where people can speak up, seek support and care for themselves without stigma.
A culture of care, learning and connection
Support at J&J goes beyond services alone. We also offer education and training that builds awareness around mental health and helps employees recognize where they are on the continuum. Workshops help leaders foster supportive, respectful teams and psychological safety.
Our active Employee Business Resources Groups further amplify and promote this culture of inclusion and care, building social connection and community across the globe. Together, these efforts help promote awareness, normalize mental health conversations and reinforce the message that openness and seeking support are signs of strength, not stigma.
Shape the future and be part of what’s next
A career in healthcare innovation can be demanding, and we recognize that doing exceptional work starts with having the support to be well. Our approach to mental health is part of our broader commitment to total health: to support employees physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially.
