METLIFE INC

At December 31, 2023, we had approximately 45,000 employees.

As a financial services company, we rely significantly on our global workforce, leveraging a wide variety of professional, technical, management, business, and other skills and expertise, to create value for our stakeholders. Our priorities include a supportive culture, global diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”), talent and skill development, benefits and wellbeing, compensation, and attracting and retaining talent. These factors impact the readiness of the organization to support future business needs.

•Supportive culture: We encourage open dialogue with our employees through:

◦Global networks where executive and senior leaders across the organization connect to further shape and align to our strategy, build capabilities and provide feedback on our operations, culture and future;

◦Let’s Talk Live! monthly, Chief Executive Officer-driven global town halls where information is shared with all employees and employees are given the opportunity to ask questions of management;

◦MyVoice, MetLife’s annual employee survey that provides our employees with an opportunity to share their perspectives and informs action-oriented solutions; and

◦Speak Up, MetLife’s online tool that, together with its Ethics & Fraud Hotline, enable associates to report any concern or violation that impacts employees, customers, or MetLife, without fear of retaliation.

•Diversity, equity and inclusion: In March 2022, we announced a set of 2030 DEI commitments that address the needs of underserved communities through a mix of investments, products and services, supply chain, volunteering and community efforts. Efforts made to pursue these commitments include (i) originating investments that advance diversity, (ii) encouraging a culture of year-round volunteering with a focus on underserved communities, (iii) providing diverse businesses with equal opportunity to participate in MetLife’s supply chain and become trusted suppliers, (iv) supporting research that advances the understanding of DEI issues, and (v) continuing to advance workplace diversity. As of December 31, 2023, globally, women represented 30% of our Executive Leadership Team and 36% of our Board of Directors. In the U.S., ethnic and racially diverse employees represented 13% of our Executive Leadership Team and 36% of our Board of Directors as of December 31, 2023.

•Talent and skill development: Employees can leverage our digitally enabled learning platform known as MyLearning and our internal global talent marketplace known as MyPath to enhance and expand their skills through experiential and cross-functional learning. Our approach to managing talent begins with regular 2+2+1 conversations during which employees and their managers discuss two things the employee is doing well, two things to focus on and one thing the employee needs from their manager to be successful.

•Benefits and wellbeing: We offer to our workforce compensation and inclusive benefits programs that provide resources to help maintain their physical, mental and financial wellbeing, as well as development opportunities and learning experiences that are tailored to individual career aspirations. MetLife’s company-paid and company-subsidized healthcare, disability, life insurance and retirement benefits are tailored to the needs of each market and competitive paid time off and parental leave programs are provided in all markets.

•Compensation: We have a pay-for-performance philosophy that directly links an employee’s compensation to their performance and to MetLife’s performance. We also provide market-aligned compensation opportunities to attract, engage and retain talent and are committed to continuing to review our practices to ensure fairness and equity.

•Attracting and retaining talent: We enable career development and training for existing employees by giving them access to tools, resources and social networks that expand professional relationships. We support retention goals by supporting employee recognition programs, focusing on employee health and wellness, and offering our total compensation and benefit programs.
