What really sets us apart from other providers is the direct support you and your employees receive from a dedicated, onsite MetLife Financial Services Representative (FSR). These professionals deliver targeted education and communication programs designed to educate your employees and maximize participation in your plan.

Your dedicated FSR:

• Conducts onsite enrollment and education seminars
• Meets with participants one-on-one to:
  • answer retirement plan questions
  • help complete enrollment and salary reduction forms
  • review financial needs
  • offer guidance for setting and achieving retirement goals

MetLife is committed to helping you reach the goals you've set for your retirement savings plan. We'll work with you to design a program to help boost your employees' participation in the plan and to help them achieve financial security by the time they retire.

The Right Message. The Right Time. The Right Media.

The Right Message To develop an effective communication strategy for your plan, we start by reviewing your plan goals. We can even survey your employees to identify any gaps in knowledge with respect to your retirement plan or other financial concepts. Using this information, we partner with you to develop communication and education campaigns that target different employee segments.
The Right Time To help your employees better understand the importance of saving for retirement, MetLife offers educational content through our Curriculum of Retirement Education (CORE) program. CORE is an integrated, multimedia platform that addresses the changing lifestyles and financial needs of your employees.
The Right Media Recognizing that employees have different learning styles, MetLife developed our Layers of Learning delivery model for educational programs. This approach focuses on making information available through a variety of methods — through our on-site representatives, traditional in-person seminars, online tools and personalized mailings.

Over the years, MetLife has demonstrated a sustained commitment to K-12 education. We're much more than just life insurance, annuities and other types of insurance and employee benefit programs. Our work touches the lives of individuals who support students and their achievement, including school district administrators, principals and teachers. Examples of key MetLife education partnerships include:

Association of School Business Officials (ASBO International) – MetLife understands the importance of ongoing professional development for individuals who want to continuously refine and acquire new skills. We support ASBO's Bridges to the Future Program which is designed to develop the leadership capacity of new school district business managers. MetLife-funded scholarships enable individuals to attend ASBO's International's Annual Meeting and Leadership Conference, participate in professional development, and engage in ongoing networking activities.
National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) – Because MetLife recognizes the value of exemplary school leadership, we support the NASSP Principal of the Year program. This program showcases outstanding high school and middle level principals who provide high-quality learning opportunities for students and model best practices.
The MetLife Survey of the American Teacher – Since 1984, MetLife has conducted this series of surveys that bring the views of educators and stakeholders to the attention of policymakers and the public. Survey topics have changed to address key issues over the years, but the premise remains the same: to give voice to teachers and others most familiar with classroom realities and most affected by education reform.
