JPMorgan has installed a banker to oversee the “success and well-being” of its analysts and associates as investment banks face new pressure to overhaul working practices for their junior dealmakers.

The Wall Street bank, which also introduced a cap of 80 hours per week for its juniors earlier this month, has named Ryland McClendon as global investment banking associate and analyst leader, according to a memo sent to employees seen by Financial News.
