MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today announced that it has been named
to Seramount’s “2021+ Best Companies for Multicultural Women” list,
in recognition of its success in promoting workplace inclusion for
multicultural women. Seramount, formerly Working Mother Media, is a
strategic professional services firm dedicated to advancing
diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace.
“MetLife is proud to have a workplace culture that amplifies and
advances the career goals of multicultural women,” said MetLife
Global Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Dr. Cindy Pace. “By
championing racial, ethnic, and gender diversity across our career
development programs, mentorship networks, and global talent
pipeline, we can more effectively serve our customers and
communities.”
To determine the “2021+ Best Companies for Multicultural Women”
list, Seramount evaluated companies in the areas of representation,
hiring, attrition and promotion rates, recruitment, retention and
advancement programs, and company culture.
MetLife is committed to building a more inclusive and equitable
workforce and society. The company demonstrates this commitment
through policies, programs, and practices designed to close gender
gaps and promote the advancement of underrepresented groups.
MetLife’s recognition by Seramount builds on a number of recent
DEI milestones:
- MetLife launched the EXCELERATE talent sponsorship program,
which is aimed at accelerating the career progression of ethnically
and racially diverse employees at the assistant vice president to
officer level. The program, which started as a pilot for
Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino talent and will soon
expand to include all underrepresented groups, focuses on targeted
development and increased employee visibility, access, and
engagement with Executive Group leaders.
- MetLife formed Black and Latino executive leadership forums,
which provide organizational networks for existing executives,
giving them developmental opportunities and connecting them to
aspiring talent.
- Multicultural women have a strong presence across MetLife’s
wide range of development and networking programs, including 30+
Women’s Business Networks (WBNs) that serve approximately 3,000
employees at all levels of the organization across the globe. WBNs
manage over 100 Lean In Circles in nine countries, with 36% of
participants being ethnically and racially diverse women.
- MetLife supports external programs that advance the development
of ethnically and racially diverse leaders in the corporate
pipeline. These programs include: The Consortium, INROADS, SEO, the
ELC Mid-Level Managers’ Symposium, the Black Enterprise Women of
Power Summit, and the McKinsey Black Executive Leadership
Program.
