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.”
