Global insurer MetLife has been recognized for four of its
customer centric life and health solutions at the 2019
International Business Awards® - otherwise known as the
“Stevies” (after the Greek word for “crowned”).
The award-winning solutions exemplify the company’s multi-year
journey to move away from a traditional product-development model
to one driven by customer insights to help our customers navigate
their changing worlds.
MetLife China won a Gold Stevie in the Financial Services
category for its “Flexible with You” critical illness solution. The
solution was designed based on research that revealed customers are
seeking greater flexibility in their insurance coverage. It allows
customers to customize their health protection in line with their
needs at different life stages.
“Flexible with You” launched in 2018 as part of MetLife’s
regional health offering, 360Health, which combines insurance
products with health services to help customers prevent and manage
serious illnesses through a simple and engaging experience.
MetLife Australia and AmMetLife in Malaysia won Silver Stevie
awards in the Financial Services category for their “MetLife
Protect” and “HCC BoostUp Rider” offerings, respectively.
MetLife Protect has a unique modular design that lets consumers
build on four standard cover types (Life, Trauma, Total Permanent
Disability and Income Cover) with up to 11 optional extras, like
trauma coverage for family members. The HCC BoostUp Rider
introduces new medical benefits such as genomic testing for cancer,
out-patient dengue fever treatment, home nursing care and lump-sum
payment for diabetic complications.
In addition to the Gold and Silver award wins, MetLife Hong Kong
also received a Bronze Stevie for its MetLife Health Selection
Critical Care Plan, an affordable solution that provides
comprehensive reimbursement for all eligible medical expenses for
covered diseases.
“We’re delighted to receive such prestigious international
recognition for our dedicated focus on evolving with our customers’
lives and lifestyles. Across MetLife, we invest in listening
closely to our customers and deeply understanding their needs so we
can design solutions that go beyond traditional insurance products
to address their needs holistically,” said Kishore Ponnavolu,
President of MetLife Asia
More than 250 executives worldwide participated in the judging
process for the awards which received more than 4,000 entries from
74 nations and territories.
“The IBA judges from across the world were highly impressed with
the nominations they reviewed this year,” said Michael Gallagher,
president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “The Stevie Awards are
proud to honor organizations that demonstrate a high level of
achievement in a variety of industries.”
