Summary Most companies are enforcing different strategies aimed at cushioning the companies from losses. Among the recent strategies that have resulted in a lot of ethical questions is the strategy where businesses take insurance cover for the death of their employees. As such, this paper goes deeper looking into the ethical issues surrounding life insurance for companies. The emphasis of this paper are the complaints raised about life insurance in JPMorgan Chase. Most of the issues raised in the case are about the corporate life insurance policy and the benefits that accrue from the policy with respect to the company and its employees. Several complaints have kept coming up concerning the commitment of the company to ensure that its employees are healthy, on the one hand, and the desire of the company to make billions of money from insurance firms on the corporate insurance life policies that are embraced by JPMorgan Chase, on the other hand. Key facts The JPMorgan Chase case is one of the numerous examples of cases where companies seek to maximize output from their employees, devoid of devoting a lot of attention to the employees as the key resources as far as business continuity and profitability are concerned. In the assessment of the JPMorgan Chase, the mysterious death of employees and the continued embrace of corporate insurance life policies come out as serious ethical concerns in the operation of the company. A look at the arguments presented by Kimbrell (2014) and Martens and Martens (2014) points at the fact that the bank seems to be reaping from the deaths of its employees, having entered into agreements with insurance banks in the matter of corporate life insurance. According to Kimbrell (2014), suspicious deaths are often reported in JPMorgan Chase as claims of using the deaths of the employees to earn more for the company keep coming up. The issues are raised by different commentators in the realms of business ethics. For instance, the Wall Street Journal remains keen on documenting the deaths of the employees and the amount of money that JPMorgan Chase receives from insurance companies out of these deaths. The New York Times is also keen as far as reporting the developments of the deaths of employees and the benefits that JPMorgan Chase gets from the death of its employees are concerned. Moral Analysis The bottom line in this ethical case of JPMorgan Chase is the morality surrounding the death of employees as the company keeps making money from these deaths. What needs to be explored, morally speaking, is the ethical stance that is embedded in corporate insurance life policies. From the outset, it looks like there is either no moral consideration or very little consideration of morals in firms as they come up with strategies that cushion them from the business shocks that prevail in the volatile business environment. While it is obvious that JPMorgan Chase embraces corporate life insurance policies, more people are interested in the manner in which the corporate life insurance policies are enforced. Here, it makes sense to assert that, “because the so-called company-owned life insurance offers employers generous tax breaks, the market is enormous; hundreds of corporations have taken out policies on thousands of employees”(Gelles, 2014, pa
