MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today announced it has been named to
the 2018 Disability Equality Index® “Best Places to Work” by the
United States Business Leadership Network (USBLN) and the American
Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD). This is the second
time MetLife has been recognized for its efforts to ensure an
inclusive workplace for people with disabilities.
The Disability Equality Index (DEI®) is based on an annual
national survey that scores businesses on their disability
inclusion policies and practices. The Index is a joint initiative
of the AAPD and USBLN and was designed by a diverse group of
business leaders, policy experts and disability advocates. The DEI
measures key performance indicators across organizational culture,
leadership, accessibility, employment, community engagement,
support services and supplier diversity.
“Employees with diverse abilities bring varied perspectives to
the workplace and strengthen MetLife’s ability to meet the needs of
our customers,” said Meredith Ryan-Reid, senior vice president,
Group Benefits, and executive sponsor of MetLife Diverse Abilities,
an employee network that champions disability inclusion and
awareness. “We are proud to be recognized by the Disability
Equality Index for our commitment to create an inclusive workplace
for all employees.”
MetLife is committed to creating an inclusive work environment
where employees with different abilities contribute to business
success. Among the company’s policies and programs, MetLife
offers an employee resource group, MetLife DiverseAbilities (MDA),
to help raise awareness among MetLife’s associates, customers and
communities, and to empower employees who are differently abled.
MDA promotes a culture where employees are encouraged to reach
their full potential and are recognized for their unique abilities,
experiences and talents.
Additional resources and programs for employees with
disabilities and their families include:
- Panel discussions and in-person
speakers on disability-focused issues
- Health and wellness advocates that
assist with program information
- Disability accommodations across our
facilities
- Restroom access, automatic doors and
dedicated parking
