NEW YORK, April 04, 2024
MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today announced it is among Fortune magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For® in 2024. MetLife is one of four insurance companies on the list.
“MetLife’s inclusion on Fortune’s list is based on feedback from those who know our company best – our people,” said MetLife President and CEO Michel Khalaf. “We are committed to building a purpose-driven and inclusive culture so that MetLife colleagues can reach their full potential and, in turn, deliver for all our stakeholders.”
Fortune’s annual list is determined by Great Place to Work® using its For AllTM methodology. Feedback from more than half a million employees was collected through Great Place to Work’s Trust IndexTM Survey and cross-reviewed with company-submitted essays to identify organizations that offer the most generous, caring and innovative workplace cultures and programs to meet the diversity of their people’s needs inside and outside the workplace.
“We recognize that caring for our employees is a critical business imperative,” said MetLife Chief HR Officer Susan M. Podlogar. “MetLife intentionally builds programs and embeds employee care into our work experience – from culture, purposeful work and flexibility to benefits, career development and compensation – to create a workplace where employees feel valued, supported and can flourish professionally and personally.”
Examples of employee programs and offerings MetLife launched or expanded in 2023 include:
- The Leader Expectations Tool – an upward feedback survey leaders use to gather perspectives from their teams, enabling them to identify development opportunities that will increase their leadership effectiveness.
- Coaching@MetLife – a network of “on-demand” internal certified coaches who provide employees with personal and professional development guidance based on their goals.
- MOMENTUM – a global community of employee-driven networks, which joined together to drive office vitality, consistent employee experiences, and connection and belonging for all.
MetLife’s results from Great Place to Work’s Trust Index Survey reflect the company’s commitment to building a culture of care, with 90% of MetLife employees saying they are proud to tell others they work for MetLife. In addition, 86% consider MetLife a great place to work, compared to 57% at a typical U.S.-based company.
MetLife has been certified by Great Place to Work in Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Cyprus, India, Lebanon, Mexico, Romania, the United States and Uruguay.
