We do our greatest work when we feel welcome and supported.
Our colleague networks are open to all Canada Life employees. They represent a safe space for our colleagues to come together and connect with like-minded individuals.
Each network plays an active role in creating a culture of belonging, providing an opportunity to network and collaborate. They also enable colleagues to provide input into policies and procedures.
The Ethnicity Network (TEN) is made up of employees seeking to increase awareness, celebrate cultural diversity, and create a safe space to have open discussions around race and ethnicity at Canada Life. To achieve this, TEN focuses on raising awareness across the organisation through blogs, thought-provoking discussions, and highlighting culturally relevant celebration days.
Our Balance network brings people together in conversations about gender and equality. This is an inclusive and supportive community who discuss topics of interest, while providing a platform to represent the voices and views of all genders. The network champions both professional and personal growth.
Proud is our LGBTQ+ network welcoming both LGBTQ+ members and allies. The network promotes a culture where colleagues can be open about their sexual orientation and gender identity. In wider society, inclusion is not always a given, and prejudice against the LGBTQ+ community persists. Within Proud, we aim to ensure employees feel they can be themselves without fear of discrimination.
Our wellbeing strategy is underpinned by four key pillars that holistically integrate physical, mental, financial and social health.
In addition, our benefits products and services offer an annual wellbeing programme which educates and raises awareness by promoting an energised, safe and inclusive environment. This helps support colleagues to feel empowered, positively flourish and achieve their full potential.
Examples of previous activities include Stress Awareness month, Understanding ADHD, Obstacles to Self-care, Building Better Bedtime Routines, and insights for new and expectant parents. Supporting a culture of openness, trust and transparency, we also share colleague ‘Life Stories’ linking to a variety of wellbeing topics.
Our Potters Bar, Bristol and Isle of Man offices have active sports and social clubs. They organise a variety of events throughout the year, including:

We believe that our colleague networks can be powerful drivers of change, so we’re proud to be recognised as a Radius Certified Employee Network Investor. |
