TORONTO, Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Manulife is
announcing "Fuel Up Fridays", a new initiative to support the
well-being of its global team. Starting September 10th, Manulife will dedicate
the second Friday of each month through the end of the year to
"fueling up" through a morning of collective learning, followed by
an afternoon off to recharge in support of physical and mental
health.
In addition, Manulife is once again giving its more than 37,000
colleagues five additional personal days to use during 2022 in
appreciation of all the hard work they've done helping people make
decisions easier and lives better.
"Our team has shown incredible stamina as we continue to
navigate the global pandemic, supporting our customers, our
communities, and each other," said Manulife CEO Roy Gori. "We know that many different factors
contribute to our physical and mental well-being, and that's why
we'll continue to take a holistic approach focused on fueling our
creativity through learning, and fueling our resilience through
rest."
Throughout the pandemic, Manulife has been guided by its
commitment to support the well-being of its global team, and to
promote a greater sense of connectivity, engagement and inclusion.
Earlier this year, Manulife launched "Elevate", a programme of
activities and celebrations around healthy living, and also marked
the second "Thank You Day" off for all colleagues
globally.
