Investing in development: In June 2024, we opened our new flagship learning centre, BMO Academy, at BMO Place – our largest investment in employee development in 30 years. BMO Academy enables transformative experiences, opportunities to innovate and collaborate – and underscores our dedication to building a culture of continuous learning across the bank. 

Investing in our people: Caring for our colleagues is a priority at BMO with a focus on mental, physical, social and financial well-being. We understand the importance of supporting employees in a variety of ways – like  doubling our coverage for mental health care in Canada, introducing access to virtual healthcare, launching financial support for family planning and enhancing Best of BMO programs. 

Investing in our communities: Over the past five years, colleagues have donated $82.6 million to charities across Canada to support the causes that are important to them. Last year, 88% of BMO employees participated in the Employee Giving Campaign, resulting in $31 million donated.  

Investing in inclusion: At BMO, we’re anchored by our values of integrity, empathy, diversity and responsibility, and a commitment to upholding our reputation as one of the world’s most ethical companies. ​Guided by our Zero Barriers to Inclusion strategy, BMO is committed to building an inclusive society where everyone can thrive and feel valued, respected, and heard.  

“My congratulations to every member of team BMO. Thank you for showing up in such a big way for our clients, communities, and each other. Every one of us has helped build our engaged and Winning Culture, and that means this national recognition belongs to all of us.”
