Addressing Cultural and Structural Barriers
We are focused on creating equity and addressing barriers that can obstruct careers and undermine efforts to increase and sustain diversity, equity and inclusion through the following actions:
- Policies, programs and practices to close gender gaps and build a workplace that works for women;
- Solutions to increase retention and career progression for underrepresented groups;
- Promotion of the hiring and engagement of people with disabilities.
Strengthening Gender Equity
The Gender Equity Initiative focuses on five areas — leadership, workforce, marketplace, community, and sustainability. The initiative also leverages our commitment to U.N. Women’s Empowerment Principle as well as the UN Global Compact’s focus on Targeting Gender Equity.
Helping High-Performers
EXCELERATE, a talent sponsorship program driven by senior leaders, to help accelerate the development and progression of high-performing diverse talent. The program provides sponsorship, skill-based training and external coaching.
Championing Inclusion
Inclusion Action Teams and Inclusion Networks focus on giving voice and encouraging actions that engender a more diverse and inclusive culture across MetLife businesses and functions.
