Manulife Asia on Thursday said it has signed a three-year Exclusive Premier Sponsorship deal with the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) to aid growth in the company’s agency force.
The agreement, which commenced on 1 January 2025 will drive “high quality, sustainable growth for Manulife’s agency force” through tools and knowledge to advance their skills and careers in the life insurance and financial services industry. The insurer added that top-tier agents from all markets will receive support for career advancement at all stages.
The initiative covers several skill-building development programs, in-person workshops for both agency leaders, and MDRTs by MDRT expert speakers, and other learning content and online courses.
Rishi Srivastava, Chief Agency Officer of Manulife Asia, remarks that the partnership with MDRT underscores the company’s effort to develop and uphold the quality of its agency force, adding, “Our professional agents are crucial to maintaining trusted relationships with our customers and they make a positive difference in the lives of the communities that we serve across the region.”
Alongside the MDRT engagement, the company is also rolling out the proprietary recognition and activation programme Manulife Pro.
“By investing in comprehensive, training for our agents, we empower them to drive our transformation into a leading digital, customer-focused market leader and the best long-term partner for our customers,” Srivastava added.
Manulife ranked third worldwide in MDRT members in 2023.
