At MetLife, we believe that diversity is key to our collective success. It's about embracing the full spectrum of experiences, cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives that make each of us unique. As we celebrate Global Diversity Awareness Month, we want to share what diversity means to us and introduce MOMENTUM Networks – MetLife's community of employee-driven networks where colleagues connect over shared experiences, passions, and causes that matter most to them.
Our employees have shared that belonging plays a crucial role in their engagement and overall happiness at work. We understand that today’s job seekers are looking for more than just a workplace; they’re searching for a space where they can do purposeful work and feel a true sense of community. MOMENTUM is one of the ways we are meeting that need, offering a space where employees can connect and join in creating meaningful impact.
MOMENTUM @ MetLife
MOMENTUM is our inclusive community at work – a vibrant network of employee-led groups organized under one umbrella to enhance workplace vitality and foster a consistent experience of connection and belonging. At the heart of MOMENTUM is our purpose: Always with you, building a more confident future – for everyone.
This network empowers colleagues to engage with one another, cultivating meaningful relationships and driving impactful change within our organization and the people we serve. Centered around the pillars of culture, career, and community, MOMENTUM Networks create a supportive environment where diverse perspectives are valued, and individuals feel empowered to contribute.
