OMERS

Well-being is often thought of as an individual responsibility. When in reality, it’s a collective effort shaped by the culture we create and support in the workplace. Ellie Myers, Adam Amato, and Julie Robbins from OMERS and Oxford Properties Group opened up about how they prioritize their well-being while delivering on our pension promise. As we’re recognized by Great Place To Work as one of the 2026 Best Workplaces for Mental Wellness, we’re reminded that it’s moments like these that elevate our employee experience.

Belonging in the workplace shows up in how we listen, respond, and create room for others. Le Hoa Duong, Farah Qasemi, Xudong Mao, Summer (Shiyuan) Q. and Kelly Zhong shared how their values have shaped their communication and leadership styles during our Asian Heritage Month event. We heard how these values influence day‑to‑day experiences at work, and why it’s important to recognize and support different ways of contributing.   With panelists from different career stages, the conversation highlighted how much we gain from learning across generations — a mindset that aligns with our long‑term responsibility as an investor. Thank you to our Multicultural Alliance and Next Gen ERG for bringing this conversation to life and helping create a workplace where we can share perspectives and learn from one another.

For years, parents have tried to explain what their kids do at work. Our NextGEN ERG saw this challenge and said, “it’s giving opportunity.” At OMERS and Oxford Properties Group's first-ever Take Your Parent to Work Day, parents spent the day learning about what we do and why it matters. Our idea was simple: open our doors and let them experience it for themselves. Before, our parents thought work consisted of “meetings,” making “decks,” and “grabbing coffee with colleagues while ignoring their texts.” Now, our parents can finally explain to the neighbours what we do for a living. Go behind the scenes with us on our inaugural Take Your Parent to Work Day!

In our Sydney office, a simple fundraising goal turned into something much bigger. Sixteen colleagues recently took on Children's Cancer Institute Australia’s 86K for a Cure challenge. By the end of the month, they had walked more than 1,600 kilometres to support research into safer, more targeted treatments for childhood cancer. This effort went beyond a fitness challenge. It reflected the power of a shared purpose. We’re proud of the way our Sydney office came together to turn individual effort into collective impact for a cause that truly matters.

Productivity isn’t just about process; it’s shaped by how people work together in a trusting and transparent way. That idea came through during the First Nations Major Projects Coalition Conference’s first-ever live episode, featuring our President and CEO, Blake Hutcheson, alongside the co-chairs of the Canadian Indigenous Investment Summit, Rob Brant of McCarthy Tétrault and Mark Magnacca. The conversation focused on how clarity, accountability, and how time spent face to face can reduce friction and support execution on long-term projects across Canada, and how strong relationships shape timelines, decisions, progress - and ultimately successful transactions. The joint venture between Bruce Power (OMERS largest investment globally) and the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, a business that provides cancer-fighting isotopes to those in need, was shared as a great example for others to study and emulate. You can listen to the full live podcast episode here: https://lnkd.in/eAANVh9G Thank you to Robert, Mark and the FNMPC for inviting Blake and OMERS into this ongoing dialogue on what Canada’s shared future could look like – when we all work together candidly and cooperatively.

Volatility is inevitable for investors and resilience is how well one stays anchored. In any given year, and some seem more difficult than others, it is always important to expect turbulence, but at the same time plan for it. At the BMO Government, Reserve & Asset Managers Conference with representation from 33 countries, our President and CEO, Blake Hutcheson, joined BMO CEO, Darryl White, to explore how OMERS thinks about resilience in a constantly changing environment. Blake reinforced that seeing through cycles is built on fundamentals: the right people and culture; a strong global brand; asset class and geographical diversification; and a clear long-term strategy. Great investors adapt nimbly to what’s changing, stay aligned to a shared purpose, and rely on trust built over time to maintain disciplined, and to unlock ways to, as Blake often says: “dance between the raindrops”. This is how OMERS has navigated cycles and paid pensions on time and as planned for more than 60 years, on behalf of our members, helping provide security for one out of every 11 households in the Province of Ontario. OMERS has also made it clear that it is excited about investing much more in Canada in the months and years ahead. Thank you to BMO Capital Markets and their Vice Chair, John Speers, for bringing together leaders from across the global investment community, and to Darryl for choosing Blake to interview for this important event for BMO and its customers.
