“Following our pledge last year to hire 1,500 agents in three
years, we are thrilled by the remarkable growth of our agency team,
which clearly attests to the success of our strategy in talent
acquisition and development,” said Mr. Lennard Yong, Chief
Executive Officer of MetLife Hong Kong. “With 20 years of
experience in Hong Kong and robust support from our corporate home
office in the U.S., we will continue to strengthen and expand our
distribution channels in our vision to refresh the way insurance is
offered and to become the right partner for customers and the
community.”
In the quest to accelerate the sustainable growth of its agency
force, MetLife Hong Kong has launched “Go Goal Life”, an innovative
and fun-filled recruitment program targeted at Generation Y talent.
A series of recruitment days called “Go Goal Life Experience Day”
was held from July to October this year, attracting over 400 people
aged 20 – 35, including fresh college graduates. Shortlisted
participants have been attending a series of workshops to equip
themselves with knowledge in financial advising, as well as an
extensive range of practical skills, such as emotional management,
public speaking and future planning.
After these comprehensive training sessions, participants can
gain “points” by completing creative assignments, developing client
relationships, joining team-building activities and doing charity
work. The top six winners with the most number of points will be
announced in mid-2016, and each of them will be awarded HK$10,000,
a Senior Relationship Manager contract, as well as an air ticket to
the U.S. to take part in an ultimate test of stamina and business
acumen in the style of famed Korean variety show “Running Man”.
Ms. Eva Wong, Chief Agency Officer of MetLife Hong Kong, said,
“MetLife Hong Kong is committed to delivering the best quality
service to customers, and we understand that this begins with our
agents. With an emphasis on holistic personal development, our
pioneering ‘Go Goal Life’ campaign represents a major milestone in
our consistent effort to build our agency force and to groom the
next generation of insurance professionals.”
