MetLife Australia is a finalist in the Best Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiative category of the inaugural SEEK Talent Acquisition Recognition (STAR) awards, which acknowledge excellence in talent acquisition.

MetLife says it has made significant progress on its Diversity and Inclusion agenda, entirely overhauling its talent acquisition procedure and introducing gender inclusive bathrooms and learning events.

“We’re really proud of the progress we have made in creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and we’ve seen this reflected in our retention rates and feedback from staff surveys,” MetLife Head of People & Culture Allyson Carlile said.

“There is always more to do and we remain focused on excelling in this space.”

The 2021 winners of the new SEEK Talent Acquisition Recognition Awards will be announced in February.
