There are milestones – and then there are moments that remind us why we do what we do.
This is one of those moments.
And one of those recognitions that hits different because it comes straight from the people who make us who we are, and from the kind of workplace that inspires you to do your best work.
MetLife has been named one of Fortune’s World’s 25 Best Workplaces™ by Fortune research partner Great Place to Work® for the second year in a row, moving up three spots to #10.
And we have our people to thank for it – the colleagues who show up every day to make a difference for our customers, our communities, and one another.
It’s a recognition that reflects the trust and connection that brings our teams together across continents. The countless ways our people make MetLife a place where everyone can thrive – where ideas are valued, differences are celebrated, and purpose guides the way.
As we move forward in our New Frontier strategy, this honor reinforces what’s always driven us: our people. Their innovation, care, and commitment help us grow responsibly, create meaningful impact, and build a more confident future for all.
“I truly value the collaborative culture at MetLife. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to engage with so many colleagues whose deep knowledge, experience, and strong work ethic have greatly contributed to my professional growth. The support and trust I’ve experienced have helped me build meaningful relationships and given me the confidence to turn challenges into achievements throughout my career.”
- Janet Hernandez-Rojas, Director, Project Management
A place where you can work with purpose
There’s something special about being part of a company that cares about making a positive impact.
Our purpose, Always with you, building a more confident future, shows up in the everyday – in the work we do, the choices we make, and the way we show up for each other.
Whether we’re helping people build financial confidence and security, or creating opportunities for greater economic inclusion, our actions reflect a shared commitment to doing what’s right and making a positive difference.
Take our new partnership with Global Citizen – a multi-year initiative driving economic inclusion and strengthening communities around the world. It’s purpose in motion and a reflection of how we bring our values to life together.
A work community that cares
At MetLife, care is something we live.
Each year, colleagues around the world come together for Volunteering with Purpose, a month-long campaign dedicated to giving back in meaningful ways. From mentoring students to supporting food drives and helping small businesses, the impact spans across markets and communities.
In 2025 alone, our people:
- Volunteered 41,000+ hours
- Took part in 13,000+ acts of service
- Represented 34 markets united by purpose
And since 2020, colleagues have contributed over 500,000 hours of volunteering in the communities where we have a presence. The power of MetLife’s community is one of the many reasons people say MetLife feels like more than a workplace.
