METLIFE INC

At December 31, 2025, we had approximately 46,000 employees.

As a financial services company, meeting our business objectives requires that 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 purpose driven and inclusive culture, talent and skill development, benefits and wellbeing, compensation, and attracting and retaining talent to support organizational readiness and business needs.

•Purpose-driven and inclusive culture: We cultivate a purpose driven and inclusive culture that serves as a driving force for meeting our business objectives. Global forums bring executives and senior leaders together to align on strategy, build capabilities, and provide feedback on operations, culture, and the future. Our monthly Chief Executive Officer-led “Let’s Talk Live!” town halls share key information and give employees the opportunity to engage directly with leadership. Our global community of employee-driven networks, MOMENTUM, is focused on actively engaging our employees in community outreach and learning and career development opportunities. We listen through MyVoice, our annual employee survey, that informs action-oriented solutions, and encourage openness through Speak Up, an online tool, and the Ethics & Fraud Hotline that allows employees to report concerns without fear of retaliation. Additionally, the MetLife Foundation supports volunteerism and community initiatives, reinforcing our commitment to purpose and impact beyond the workplace.

•Talent and skills development: Through our Growing@MetLife campaign, employees access a robust suite of learning and development resources designed to build business-critical skills and support career aspirations. Our digitally enabled MyLearning platform offers personalized recommendations with AI-driven “focus skills” helping employees target their development needs. Additional programs and boot camps provide advanced training in areas such as financial and business acumen, while mandatory training ensures compliance with Company policies and supports key priorities. Our global talent marketplace, MyPath, matches employees with experiential and cross-functional learning opportunities based on their skills and ambitions. Coaching@MetLife certifies internal coaches globally and offers on-demand sessions. We support leadership development through the Leading the Future program, which includes a speaker series, on-demand training, peer networks and workshops, and the Leader Expectations Tool, which provides feedback on leadership behaviors to help leaders build effective teams, drive engagement, and develop talent.

•Benefits and well-being: MetLife offers extensive benefits and resources to help employees prioritize their health and well-being. Our global BeWell initiative demonstrates our commitment to holistic well-being by connecting employees to health and wellness resources, individual support and leader tools. MetLife tailors Company-paid and/or Company-subsidized benefits, including healthcare, dental insurance, disability, life insurance and retirement benefits, to meet the needs of each market and offers competitive paid time off 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, motivate, engage and retain talent.

•Attracting and retaining talent: We provide a talent relationship management platform to facilitate discovery of career opportunities for current and prospective employees. We strategically source talent at all levels and provide employees with access to tools, resources and forums that enable career development. We support retention of our employees through recognition programs, health and wellness initiatives, and our total compensation and benefit programs.
