SUN LIFE FINANCIAL INC. Inclusion Works, by Hive Learning, will help Sun Life continue to foster a respectful work environment
Branded Kaleidoscope for Sun Life employees, the program will take participants on a journey from unconscious bias to conscious action by embedding tiny, but powerful, acts of inclusion into their daily behaviours and routines. Inclusion Works is a peer learning program, designed to help employees own, accelerate and embed change — accelerating the pace at which inclusion becomes a habit.
"At Sun Life we are all committed to do our part to end systemic racism, intolerance and inequities. Integrating learning and development is critical to achieving our goal," said
Over the past 18 months, the program was piloted with 1,500 employees in
- 94 per cent felt confident demonstrating inclusive behaviours at work.
- 88 per cent committed to taking action on what they learned.
- 92 per cent found the overall learning experience engaging and valuable.
- 96 per cent believe the program will drive positive change at Sun Life.
"Too many organizations focus solely on unconscious bias training, rather than helping their people understand how to practically behave in a more inclusive way," said
As outlined in Sun Life's 2019 Sustainability Report, our efforts in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are directly aligned with our Purpose, our business strategy and our ultimate success as a company.
Together, we can and will do better.
