For the twelfth year in a row, the Dave Thomas Foundation has recognized MetLife as one of America’s Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces

MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today announced that, for the twelfth year in a row, it has earned a spot on the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption’s annual list of America’s Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces. MetLife has been recognized for its employee adoption benefits, parental leave policies, and flexible work culture.

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption has released its 100 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces list every year since 2007. It compiles data from an annual survey of U.S. employers and bases its rankings on an analysis of each company’s adoption-related benefits, including the maximum financial reimbursement and the amount of paid leave given to employees who adopt.

“Adoption is wonderful, but it can be expensive,” said Susan Famulare, a MetLife senior business planning and strategy consultant. “Thanks to MetLife’s Adoption Assistance program, I was able to fulfill a longtime dream and become the proud mother of a beautiful, adopted baby girl named Lily.”

MetLife reimburses adoptive parents for eligible adoption-related expenses, and also provides them with the same benefits enjoyed by all working families at MetLife, including:

  • Flexible work arrangements, such as compressed work weeks, part-time work, job-sharing, flextime, virtual work, and telecommuting.
  • Back-up child care for up to 15 days per child per year when regular care is unavailable, along with up to 10 percent in child care discounts.
  • Counseling, concierge services, research and referrals, employee discounts, seminars, and self-assessments.

     

“We are proud to be recognized as one of the best adoption-friendly workplaces for the twelfth year in a row,” said Cindy Pace, MetLife’s global chief diversity and inclusion officer. “MetLife is committed to providing inclusive family-friendly programs and supporting policies that enhance the experience of working parents.”
