Wellness at McKesson: Supporting Your Path to Wellbeing

At McKesson, wellness isn’t just a perk—it’s part of our culture. We’re committed to creating a workplace where care, meaning, and belonging are more than just words. That means supporting our people in every aspect of their wellbeing, from physical and emotional health to financial stability and social connection.

If you’re exploring your next career move, here’s how McKesson helps employees thrive—on their own terms. 

Wellness That Works for Everyone

We know that wellbeing looks different for everyone. That’s why McKesson offers flexible, personalized resources to support each employee’s unique journey. One example is Your Day, Your Way, an annual day off dedicated to wellness. It’s a reflection of our belief that taking care of yourself is essential—and worth celebrating.

Employees also have access to YourCare, a voluntary wellness platform. Through YourCare, McKesson team members can:
 -Explore wellness tips, including sleep and nutrition support
 -Track healthy habits and launch challenges with colleagues, friends, or family
 -Earn points that are redeemable for gift cards, fitness devices, and more

Whole-Person Wellbeing

McKesson’s approach to wellness is holistic, supporting every dimension of health:

-Emotional Wellbeing: Team members take time to recharge through paid time off, volunteer days, and leaves of absence. Our EAP offers confidential support to help navigate life’s challenges. 
-Physical Wellbeing: Employees stay active with our Gym Rebate Program, virtual physical therapy, and onsite wellness screenings (where offered).
-Financial Wellbeing: Our people plan for the future with a retirement savings plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), and Education Assistance Program.
-Social Wellbeing: Employees build meaningful connections through 10+ Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and give back through programs like: Matching Gifts, Volunteer Grants, and the Taking Care of Our Own Fund, which provides financial support during personal hardships.

Wellness Champions: Leading the Way

Across McKesson, employees volunteer as Wellness Champions, helping to foster a healthy and inspiring work environment. These champions use their creativity and passion to organize activities that promote work-life balance and wellbeing.

One standout initiative was the “Capture Your Care” Scavenger Hunt—a photo-driven challenge created by Wellness Champions to celebrate health and connection. Employees explored the four pillars of wellbeing through activities like yoga, budgeting wins, and bonding with pets, earning team points along the way. It turned wellness into a fun, meaningful team-building experience.

As Wellness Champion Almeida Wright shared, “I’m all about inspiring my colleagues to get moving and stay healthy. It’s about creating moments that bring us together and make wellbeing part of our everyday culture.” That spirit of motivation and creativity is what makes these champions such an integral part of Team McKesson.
