MetLife has been selected by LATINA Style Magazine as one of the
50 Best Companies for Latinas to Work for and is featured in the
magazine’s 2014 LATINA Style 50 Report. Now in its 17th
year, this annual report is one of the most respected sources of
employment and career information for Hispanic women in the United
States.
“At MetLife, we are committed to growing a diverse workforce that
reflects our customers, shareholders and communities and to creating a
culture of inclusion – both of which are essential to meeting our
business goals,” said Elizabeth Nieto, MetLife’s global chief diversity
and inclusion officer. “We’re proud that LATINA Style has
recognized MetLife’s strong track record of attracting, developing and
retaining a diverse workforce.”
The 50 Best Companies are selected based on their efforts to promote
diversity and provide career advancement opportunities, with special
attention this year to programs that recruit veterans and military
personnel. MetLife is focused on gender diversity through efforts to
strengthen the representation, talent development and advancement of
women in senior leadership roles. In addition, the company has an
ongoing campaign to recruit veterans and military personnel.
“This year LATINA Style is celebrating its 20th
Anniversary in providing the Latina community with information that
makes a difference in their everyday lives, and we are happy to honor
MetLife in this year’s Top 50 Best Companies for Latinas,” said Robert
E. Bard, president and chief executive officer of LATINA Style,
Inc. “MetLife was chosen for its commitment to advancing Latina women in
the workforce and sets an example that other companies should follow.”
