Our People

We are building a purpose-driven and inclusive culture that energizes employees to make a difference.

ourpeoplecommitment

As a purpose-driven company, MetLife is focused on creating economic growth and opportunity for all our stakeholders — starting with our people.

This requires:

  • Leadership engagement and accountability throughout our global operations, with a commitment to create equity across our workforce.
  • Upskilling each employee’s ability to grow professionally and to build a career that matters regardless of their background or company role.
  • Unique experiences, perspectives and voices that collectively make us stronger and more inclusive.
  • A culture where everyone feels heard, valued and has a sense of belonging — where everyone brings their whole self to work and thrives as a result.
Success is when diversity, equity and inclusion is built into every aspect of decision-making at MetLife and in creating an inclusive environment where all employees feel valued, respected and heard.
