Canadian health and life insurer Manulife has launched “Fuel Up Fridays”, a new initiative aimed at supporting the wellbeing of its global team.
Starting this Friday (10 September), Manulife will dedicate the second Friday of each month through to the end of the year to “fueling up” through a morning of collective learning, followed by an afternoon off to recharge in support of employees’ physical and mental health.
The firm further revealed that it is also once again giving its more than 37,000 employees five additional personal days to use during 2022 in appreciation of their hard work.
Commenting on the new initiative, Manulife CEO Roy Gori 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.”
