Healthy Workplace
As a leading global financial services company, Manulife provides financial advice, insurance, and health, wealth and asset management solutions to individuals, groups and institutions. Currently, more than 34,000 employees, 63,000 agents and thousands of distribution partners serve 26 million customers around the world. The Canadian division employs over 12,000; one in three Canadians benefit from its services.
Over the years, Manulife has taken an active role in the wellbeing of its employees. The company’s wellness program, Wellness Matters, is now a more nationally consistent program with some regional flexibility; employee feedback and insights are part of the continuous improvement journey. Data, metrics and feedback are being used to make meaningful improvements and changes. A North American wellness dashboard provides insights into risk factors and helps to direct programming. Manulife also invests in its communities through various programs and volunteerism.
In 2018, Manulife became the title sponsor for the Ride for Heart and raised over $126,000.00 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Hundreds of employees rode, ran, walked and volunteered.
“At Manulife, we strive to make decisions easier and lives better, not only for our customers but also for our employees dedicated to serving them. That’s why we offer innovative health and financial solutions to the millions of Canadians who trust us to protect what’s most important to them. When our communities and workplaces are healthy, we all benefit in the long-run.”
