Last month, Manulife announced investments of more than $3.5 million over the next two years to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace and the communities we serve. The goal of these focused investments is three-fold: to increase the representation of diverse talent at all levels in the organization; to create greater inclusion across the company through enhanced training; and to support organizations helping BIPOC communities. These initiatives build on a number of foundational DEI building projects that Manulife has undertaken in recent years, including: support of 31 local chapters of 9 Employee Resource Groups, hiring of new Canadians through Career Edge, support of annual recruitment events that attract diverse talent and the formation of an Executive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council.
