TORONTO, Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Manulife has been
recognized by Forbes on its 2020 World's Best Employers list,
putting the leading international financial services group in the
top 100 best employers globally at #100.
"Having a winning mindset and culture is a crucial part of
Manulife's transformation to become the most digital,
customer-centric company in our industry," says Pam Kimmet, Chief Human Resources Officer,
Manulife. "This recognition is so important because it's driven by
what our employees – and prospective employees – are saying about
Manulife around the world. They are feeling supported, energized
and motivated about the future."
Through an employee-centric approach, Manulife has reimagined
its employee experience with an emphasis on digital programs to
keep its more than 35,000 employees globally as connected as ever.
New programs and experiences include:
- External Speaker Series: guest speakers – from
astronauts to mental health practitioners to happiness experts and
even a virtual spring training session with the Boston Red Sox
trainers – are sharing tools and strategies on how to stay
balanced, happy and mentally well during challenging times.
- Thank You Day: off work on June 19,
2020, plus five additional personal days to be used in
2021.
- Camp Manulife/John Hancock: a
virtual summer camp designed to encourage learning and fun while
celebrating our values and supporting our communities, available to
employees with children ages 4-10.
- Podium: new global recognition platform enables
employees at all levels across the globe to give and receive
frequent, in the moment and authentic recognition.
- Manulife Has Talent: a global virtual talent show with
talents ranging from incredible power ballads performed in
different languages, basketball trick shots, creating stunning wigs
from scratch and blindfolded piano playing.
- Virtual Onboarding: Manulife redesigned the onboarding
experience for new employees to be fully virtual.
"A huge thank you to our high performing team for their energy,
passion and tenacity and for making Manulife a great place to work
and grow," added Kimmet.
To determine the list of World's Best Employers, more than
160,000 full-time and part-time workers were surveyed from 58
countries working for businesses operations in multiple countries
or regions. All the surveys were anonymous, allowing participants
to openly share their opinions. The respondents were asked to rate
their willingness to recommend their own employers and other
employers in their respective industries to friends and family.
They were also asked to rate their satisfaction with their
employers' Covid-19 responses and score their employers on image,
economic footprint, talent development, gender equality and social
responsibility.
