HONG KONG<\/span><\/span>, Jan. 11, 2023<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Manulife has been recognized by HR Asia as one of the “Best Companies to Work for in Asia<\/span> 2022″ in five of the company’s Asian markets — China<\/span>, Hong Kong<\/span>, Malaysia<\/span>, Singapore<\/span> and Vietnam<\/span> — because of its excellence in promoting colleague engagement and workplace culture.<\/p>\n

Recognition across the five locations – compared with two markets in each of the past six years \u2013 is a record for Manulife and is testament to the company’s ongoing efforts in promoting wellbeing, development and inclusion across the region. The Best Companies to Work for in Asia<\/span> awards are selected based on a holistic assessment of the nominees’ HR practices and benchmarking of the results across industries and markets.<\/p>\n

“At Manulife, we are committed to building a workplace where our winning team can thrive. We are honoured to receive this accolade in five of our Asian markets this year, underlining the progress we have made in recognition, learning and development, communication and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI),” said Joy Xu<\/span>, Chief Human Resource Officer, Manulife Asia.<\/p>\n

“We’ve been focused on our colleagues’ well-being and on building a high-performing culture, where our team can feel valued and energized. Our latest Global Engagement Survey results, which have increased for four years in a row, put us in the top 6% against Gallup’s financial and insurance company benchmark worldwide, which is another solid testament to our winning team and culture.”<\/p>\n

To promote a learning mindset across the organisation, Manulife has named every second Friday of the month “Fuel Up Friday” to support an afternoon of collective learning to explore new skills and deepen existing skills. On top of its flagship learning programs, such as the Pursuit Leader Series, Manulife has also launched Pursuit, an AI-powered “one stop shop” learning platform, and the company also encourages LinkedIn Learning for colleagues to learn Human Centered Design, Agile and other new ways of working at their own pace and on-the-go.<\/p>\n

In 2021 and 2022, Manulife gave its global team of 37,000 employees five additional leave days to take care of their well-being. As the pandemic situation stabilized and employees returned to the office, Manulife introduced “Working Better” – a flexible working approach that focuses on well-being and aims to make lives easier through flexibility around where and how employees do their work.<\/p>\n
