NEW YORK March 24, 2010
MetLife has been named to the 2010 DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity® list. MetLife has received this honor for its demonstrated use of measurable diversity best practices and results in four areas: CEO commitment, human capital, corporate and organizational communications and supplier diversity
“MetLife knows that embedding diversity and inclusion into the way we do business will attract the very best talent, help us to better understand the needs of our customers and deliver shareholder value,” said Kathleen Henkel, executive vice president of Human Resources for MetLife. “We are so pleased that DiversityInc has named MetLife to its Top 50 list once again this year. It’s a testament to the success of our continued efforts around diversity and inclusion.”
DiversityInc has recognized MetLife for its targeted outreach to multicultural consumers, inclusive workplace and strong diversity community, including seven employee-resource groups.
“The competition to be on the DiversityInc Top 50 list has grown again this year to 449 companies. In addition, the total data reflected increased diversity across all companies that competed. That means MetLife has achieved a spot on our list as competition increased and as the competitors increased their accomplishments. This takes a remarkable commitment from top leadership,” said Luke Visconti, Chief Executive Officer of DiversityInc.
