Did you know around 20% of the population has a neurological difference?  Last week Acenda embraced Neurodiversity Celebration Week (NCW) with a special virtual event with Microsoft hosted by our Disability and Neurodiversity Employee Group. The panel provided insights on diverse minds and thoughts on how GenAI is supporting neurodivergent (ND) employees. “I’m really excited how GenAI can enhance productivity and support our neurodivergent employees,” said Craig Kimball, member of our Disability and Neurodiversity Employee Group and General Manager Technology Delivery and Operations. With 50% of Gen Z identifying as ND, it is important to focus on building workplaces that support all our employees to bring their best to life.  We are proud to celebrate the unique strengths and perspectives of our ND colleagues, promoting acceptance, equality, and inclusion💙 #Acenda #MLCLifeInsurance #Microsoft #ThisIsND #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #NeurodiversityWeek #NCW #GenAI

If you could save up to three lives in as little as 10 minutes, would you? Earlier this month, some of our Customer Contact team did just that, using their volunteer leave to contribute towards the 1.7 million blood donations needed in Australia each year. 🩸❤️ “It's incredibly fulfilling to be able to step out of the office and use our volunteer leave to not only give back to the community, but also build team spirit and connection. It really helps reinforce a positive culture" said Anastasia Alamaras, Lead Customer Contact. At Acenda, we offer each of our employees the opportunity to take two paid days of volunteer leave each year so they can make a positive community impact 🌟🤝.

We welcome the release of the latest tranche of reforms aimed at improving access to affordable financial advice for more Australians. Acenda CEO, Kent Griffin, said the reforms will help to simplify the advice framework, ensuring consumers can access advice in a format that is easy to understand and tailored to their individual needs. “We welcome this positive step towards addressing Australia’s significant unmet need for financial advice. It is critical that the Government has strongly committed to developing the remaining pieces to modernise the best interests duty and create a new class of adviser, and that these combined with the draft legislation released today will be introduced into Parliament as a single package.” We look forward to collaborating with industry on the full implementation of this reform package to improve financial outcomes for millions of Australians.

In this session with our Partner Education Manager Marshall Ross, you’ll hear about a range of strategies you can use to turn this situation into one that benefits both you and your clients – all while earning some CDP points along the way.
