Manulife Financial has added Rogers Communications Inc. to its family of group savings and retirement solutions clients.

When the Rogers plan takes effect August 1, Manulife will be the exclusive provider of employee benefits and pension savings plans for the communications firm. Manulife already provides group benefits coverage for Rogers employees.

“We believe our customer service, innovative products and flexible support are a good fit for a dynamic and growing organization like Rogers and its approximately 25,000 employees,” said Paul Lorentz, senior vp of Manulife Financial’s group savings and retirement solutions (GSRS).

“Our teams in GSRS will work diligently to reinforce the strong relationship that Rogers already has with Manulife’s group benefits area and continue to provide outstanding customer service. We’re very pleased to be extending Manulife’s partnership with Rogers Communications Inc.”
