MetLife Recognized as a Military Friendly Employer for the 10th Consecutive Year

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today announced that it has been recognized as a 2022 Military Friendly^® Employer and a 2022 Military Friendly Spouse Employer.

This marks a decade of recognition for MetLife’s commitment to supporting veterans and fostering a culture that honors military service. It is the seventh year in a row MetLife has been recognized for creating sustainable, meaningful career paths for military spouses.

“MetLife believes that a competitive, future-focused workplace must be an inclusive one,” said MetLife Chief Financial Officer John McCallion, who also serves as executive sponsor of the company’s Veterans Initiative. “We value the unique experiences and perspectives military veterans offer as we develop solutions for our customers, and we’re committed to supporting a workforce and communities where veterans can thrive.”
