MetLife has been recognised by professional services researcher Seramount for its efforts on diversity, inclusion, hiring practices and workplace trust.

The insurer’s divisions across 16 markets, including Australia, feature on Seramount’s Global Inclusion Index, which rates recruitment, retention and advancement, company culture, and leadership accountability in diversity, equity and inclusion strategy and execution.

MetLife’s US division is recognised as a leading company on the inclusion index, and the insurer remains in the researcher’s “hall of fame” for having women in executive positions and being one of the best companies for multicultural women. 

The insurer’s global chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer Cindy Pace says the awards reflect the company’s commitment to ensuring an open and fair workplace. 

“An inclusive culture where unique attributes, perspectives, voices and contributions are valued and respected is critical for the wellbeing of our employees and business performance,” Dr Pace said.
