JPMorgan Chase & Co., without actually prohibiting their teams from Wall Street hold year-end meetings, urged employees to “exercise caution and good judgment” if they do meet, in addition to being tested for COVID-19 before returning to work after vacation.
“We strongly recommend postponing any events where it is difficult to wear a mask, such as events focused on eating and drinking,” he told the staff of the largest US bank in a memo. “You should also use your discretion when considering attending work-related holiday events / gatherings that are not sponsored by the company.”
Earlier in the year, the investment bank was more aggressive than many rivals earlier this year in urging employees to return to the Manhattan towers. While some Wall Street companies recently began telling employees to stay home through the end of the year amid rising coronavirus infection rates, JPMorgan said its offices will remain open and fully operational. Still, individual teams can make adjustments.
“Given the recent increase in COVID cases in the US, each group should assess who should go to the office, work priorities, and who should return to work from home on a more regular basis over the next several weeks,” the company said. to employees in the note.
