MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today announced that it has received a
top score on the Disability Equality Index® (DEI), making the
company a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion” for the
fifth year in a row.
The DEI – a joint initiative of the American Association of
People with Disabilities, the nation’s largest disability rights
organization, and Disability:IN, the global business disability
inclusion network – is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that helps
companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions that they
can take to achieve disability inclusion and equality. The 2021
index measured culture and leadership, enterprise-wide access,
employment practices, community engagement, and supplier
diversity.
“MetLife is committed to building a purpose-driven and inclusive
culture that energizes all of our employees to make a difference,”
said Meredith Ryan-Reid, senior vice president, MetLife Financial
Wellness & Engagement and executive sponsor of the MetLife
DiverseAbilities inclusion network. “We are proud to be recognized
by the Disability Equality Index for creating a workplace where
people with diverse abilities are supported and empowered.”
The MetLife DiverseAbilities inclusion network champions
disability inclusion and awareness among MetLife employees, helping
them access essential resources available to them, their families,
and friends.
MetLife also supports entrepreneurship and innovation among
people with disabilities by partnering with organizations such as
Disability:IN to identify Disability Owned Business Enterprises as
part of the company’s Supplier Inclusion & Development program.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, MetLife expanded its educational
sponsorships to include virtual development programs for diverse
business partners and increased its sponsorship of
Disability:IN.
