Manulife and John Hancock, its U.S. subsidiary, have declared Friday, June 19 as a \u201cThank You Day\u201d off for their more than 35,000 employees as a token of appreciation for their hard work in serving customers to help people make decisions easier and improve their lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so proud and grateful for the commitment our people have shown \u2013 it’s taken energy and incredible stamina,\u201d Manulife CEO Roy Gori said in a statement.<\/p>\n

While the process of reopening has begun across many communities, Gori noted that it will probably take time for things to revert to what has been considered \u201cnormal\u201d before.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we will all need to continue to take care of ourselves and practice healthy habits, which include unplugging and taking time to unwind,\u201d he said. \u201cWe’ll be getting that done together, as a global team, on Friday, June 19th this year.”<\/p>\n

The company also announced that it will provide five additional personal days next year for each employee, which it says are meant to support well-being by encouraging regular time off and let workers take meaningful vacations that they may have been unable to do given the present circumstances.<\/p>\n

Aside from the added time off, Manulife and John Hancock is offering flexible work arrangements, supplemental paid time off, and additional virtual mental health resources to support employees and their families facing challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
