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.”
