Palmiero will be developing and implementing an overall corporate wellness strategy and program for JTS clients that will focus on the improvement of employee mental, physical, and financial wellness. In addition, she will identify and track key metrics that determine how the wellness program can scale with the growing JTS clientele base over the next 3-5 years.

“Over the past 5 years, we have found it extremely difficult to find a wellness program, on a local and national level, that we felt would truly benefit our clients and their employees. We are thrilled to have Sarah on board, she brings her expertise in corporate wellness, employee engagement strategy, implementation, and evaluation to our organization,” said John Starling, President and Owner at JTS. “Our clients and their employees are going to benefit from having a customizable wellness solution that helps improve the lives of their employees. This is something no other employee benefits firm in Arkansas is doing and we are excited to be able to offer this to our clients.”

Previously, Palmiero was the wellness manager with Garver, and a clinical dietitian at the Arkansas Heart Hospital. She has presented on several subjects including creating and managing a corporate wellness program, habits and behavior change, stress management, and an array of nutrition topics.

“I chose to move to JTS Financial because, from my first conversation with the team, I knew I would be joining a company full of innovative and passionate people,” Palmiero said. “It was clear their mission is to help better the lives and health of their clients and their own employees through efficient and forward-thinking solutions.”
