As schools reopen after the summer holidays, many parents are navigating new routines, transitions, and unexpected challenges. Work and life don’t always run to schedule. That’s why we offer the flexibility to adapt when our people need it most. Whether it’s a child’s first day at school like Pete O'Rourke, moving house, or taking time to volunteer, our range of paid leave options gives our people flexibility during moments that matter. From school transitions to leave for grandparents, carers, volunteering, and more - our policies are designed with real life in mind.

Last week we hosted 130 students aged 16-18 in our 10FA office in London, in collaboration with The Talent Foundry. Students from different schools across London spent a full day learning employability skills and about financial literacy, equipping them with valuable insight into the world of financial services. Supported by 48 M&G volunteers, students engaged in mock interviews, speed mentoring, investment games and social media sessions. Our community investment programmes focus on providing education and skills to increase financial confidence and revitalising communities to deliver local, sustainable development. This is delivered with our charity partners and support from our colleagues, who volunteer their time to make a difference. In 2024 alone, our colleagues contributed over 12,000 hours of their time as part of our commitment to offer every colleague two volunteering days per year. Together, we’re building financial confidence and creating lasting impact where it matters most.

To mark #SouthAsianHeritageMonth, our colleague-led Embrace Network organised celebrations throughout July and August. The festivities began with a panel event which was hosted by our colleagues. The panel focused on this year's theme, "Free to be me", allowing the panelists the opportunity to share with the audience how this resonated with them. They also discussed topics including their upbringing, family lives, career journeys, breaking stereotypes and the balancing act of maintaining their cultural values and heritage whilst living in the UK. Other events have included: a henna workshop, a Bollywood dance class, an online quiz, a virtual cook-along for a paneer and chicken curry, movie night and a Spotify playlist curated by colleagues from all around the globe. #Diversity #Inclusion #SAHM24 #FreeToBeMe
