Building a sense of belonging

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We embrace diversity, equity and inclusion across our workforce and within our workplace. Why? Because it makes our business stronger.

For us, DEI is personal.  It's about people being their best and authentic selves, sharing their humanity, contributing their talents, and driving progress and change that helps each other and our organization. 

We're committed to building a culture within our workplace where everyone thrives and is deeply aware of the role they can play in being an ally and supporting DEI efforts across our offices globally.   

Driven by leadership, owned by every colleague

Our global executive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Council, which includes members of the Executive Leadership Team and is chaired by the CEO, meets quarterly and guides, supports, and facilitates the implementation of our DEI strategy, encourages innovative thinking about DEI challenges and opportunities, and drives and builds accountability for DEI throughout the organization.
A sense of mutual respect and mindfulness permeates our culture-in fact, it’s the key to our success.

Employee Resource Groups

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary networks led by colleagues who share a common identity or life experience. They provide support and advice to each other, create connections with the community and raise awareness of issues, challenges and initiatives. They also provide insight to DEI issues and hold us accountable to our DEI commitments.

Globally, Manulife has 15 Employee Resource Groups with 40 chapters and over 14,000 members. Learn more about our ERG's in the section below.
