MetLife Earns Top Spot in Industry As Best Adoption-Friendly Workplace

NEW YORK, October. 05, 2018  /3BL Media/ - MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today announced it has ranked 42 on the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption’s 2018 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces List. This is the eleventh year in a row that MetLife has been recognized and the fourth consecutive year ranked #1 in the Insurance Industry.

The rankings, compiled from an annual survey of U.S. employers, are determined by an analysis of each company’s adoption benefits, including the maximum financial reimbursement and the amount of paid leave provided for employees who adopt.

“We waited many years for our son and he is truly our gift from God. After he was born, my husband and I were surprised to learn that MetLife has this wonderful program that contributed to our expenses,” said Katherine Doti, sales consultant in MetLife’s global customer solutions. “We will always be grateful for MetLife and the gift they gave to our family through the MetLife Adoption Assistance Program.”
