Pacific Life Volunteers were out in force last year providing invaluable volunteer support in our local communities. Throughout the year, 2,300 volunteers across the globe lived out Pacific Life’s Community core value, dedicating their time to give back to those in need. Whether volunteering at a company-sponsored Week of Service event, volunteering for their local food bank as part of a Volunteer Action Team, participating in their child’s PTA and recording their Individual Volunteer Activity, or volunteering as a department, there was no shortage of service by Pacific Life employee heroes and their loved ones.

Community-Focused Department Events

Pacific Life department leaders also engaged their teams in 45+ Department Teambuilding Community Events elevating employee engagement globally by including a charitable activity as part of their department meetings and conferences. These activities included offsite food packing projects, backpack assembly projects, a mentorship day at a local Boys & Girls Club, and many more!

Enterprise Actuarial partnered with the Pacific Life Foundation for a team building event to build bikes for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Capistrano Valley, which was not only a fun time for both employees and club youth, but also a significant component in bonding our new team together. And at the 2023 Actuarial Conference our Pacific Life actuarial community worked together with the Pacific Life Foundation to build 300 Think Together kits! As I look ahead, I see a global company which is grounded in its commitment to the communities where our clients and employees live, and can say I am proud to be part of this Pacific Life family.
