Manulife launches well-being initiative with 5 extra personal days in 2022

Manulife just announced Fuel Up Fridays—its new initiative to support the well-being of its global team. Starting on 10 September, Manulife will dedicate the second Friday of each month through the end of the year to employees ‘fuelling 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 giving its more than 37,000 colleagues five additional personal days to use during 2022 in appreciation of all their hard work helping people make decisions easier and lives better.

Roy Gori, CEO, Manulife, said, “Our team has shown incredible stamina as we continue to navigate the global pandemic, supporting our customers, our communities, and each other. 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 fuelling our creativity through learning and fuelling our resilience through rest.”

Throughout the pandemic, the insurance and investment giant 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, the Group launched ‘Elevate’, a programme of activities and celebrations around healthy living, and marked its second ‘Thank You Day Off’ for all colleagues globally.
