As we continue to recognize the sacrifices made by our veterans and those who have perished, we want to showcase the work of our Military Employee community (MiLE). MiLE is a group for our current service members, veterans, their families and supporters. Their goal is to create a community where veterans and military family members feel welcome. They look to highlight the unique experiences of our veterans and their family members, and give back to the local and veteran communities through volunteering and mentorship.
Meet Tanya and Adrianna, our Indigenous Peoples and Their Allies (IPTA) co-chairs from Waterloo, Canada. IPTA’s mission is to better enable our Indigenous employees to advance professionally and have open and honest conversations while increasing the awareness of Indigenous peoples for all employees. “IPTA is great due to it being for Indigenous employees and allies. It is the first of its kind at Manulife/John Hancock. It is a safe space to share information regarding what it is like being Indigenous and for Indigenous allies to ask questions they may not have felt comfortable going elsewhere to ask.”
Our largest Employee Resource Group is the Global Women’s Alliance (GWA).

Meet Sören and Stef, our co-chairs for Professionals Reaching Out for Unity and Diversity (PROUD) Hong Kong. We asked them what PROUD is all about: “PROUD Hong Kong is committed to building a more inclusive environment for employees that identify as LGBTQ+ and our PROUD allies, many of whom have family, friends and colleagues who identify as LGBTQ+. Through our activities and campaigns, we increase awareness and create a sense of community and mutual support. While we are less than three years old, our efforts were rewarded in July 2020 when we were named a finalist of Community Business 2020 Hong Kong LGBTQ+ Inclusion Awards in the best newcomer category. Over the past year we have increasingly sought to raise Manulife’s external profile through sponsorships of high-profile events such as PRIDE and community awards as well as joining and promoting key initiatives such as the Interbank LGBTQ+ Forum, where Manulife became the first insurance company to be represented.”

We’re excited to introduce our new VP of Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Michelle Taylor-Jones. Her 21+ years of experience as an executive leader in Small Business Banking, Talent Management, Executive Recruiting, and Diversity and Inclusion at various Fortune 100 and 500 Companies make her exceptionally qualified for this important position. She has numerous honors and was most recently recognized by the National Association of Female Executives (NAFE) for her outstanding work supporting women, where she was awarded the NAFE 2019 Woman of Excellence as a Diversity Innovator. She has also worked tirelessly as an advocate against violence of women and children globally. We’re thrilled to have Michelle support our innovation and transformation of DEI.
For more than 13 years we have been proud to run the MLK Scholars Program across Boston, built on the inspirational values and legacy of its namesake, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Each year we’ve sponsored the employment of over 600 Boston high-school students at dozens of local non-profit organizations, making it one of the largest summer job programs of its kind in the U.S. The scholars join a paid 6-7-week summer internship where we help them develop the skills, networks and connections they’ll need to be successful. This summer, we went virtual! Many of our non-profit partners were able to pivot their programs to continue safe, quality opportunities for the scholars. In addition, we were glad to host 36 scholars and rehire 4 college interns who were former MLK Scholars, who participated in virtual department work, career exploration seminars, and other workshops focused on career development. As we continue to build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workspace, our MLK Scholars Program is a strong pipeline of talent joining our company.
We remain committed to our employees and community during COVID-19. Explore a range of job openings with us across Canada, US and Asia.
