MetLife - Financial Wellness and Support Resources to Help Workers Build a More Confident Future

Good Afternoon,

We at MetLife care deeply about the health and holistic well-being of our customers, associates, and partners. According to a new survey of small businesses conducted by MetLife and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, 56 percent say financial relief payments for all Americans is a top priority. And, in the months ahead, nearly one-third say they’re looking for guidance on how to keep their employees safe and well.1 As the world adapts to a “new normal,” we are here to help. This week, we’ll be rolling out three resources that will help employees actively manage stress, navigate life choices, and manage their finances.


MetLife’s new Financial Wellness hub addresses the wellness needs of employees now and in the future – available for all employers and employees
Our new wellness destination, the Financial Wellness hub, addresses employees’ most immediate wellness needs. From financial tips to expert-backed ways to stay calm and mindful, we’ll show them how to assess their situation now while guiding them to build a more confident future.

New COVID-19 support hotline available for our employers with fewer than 500 lives
We’ve set up a dedicated COVID-19 hotline provided by LifeWorks2 available through September 30, 2020 for employers with fewer than 500 lives. Employees of these employers have access to support including immediate emotional support, research and referrals, and access to guidance and resources to cope with COVID-19.

Access to phone-based financial guidance available to employers with fewer than 100 lives (Small Businesses)
While everyone is feeling the pressures of uncertainty right now, we recognize that Small Businesses are navigating particularly challenging economic strain. To help alleviate some of that burden, we are pleased to offer Small Businesses access to MetLife’s PlanSmart Financial Wellness planner line for 90 days. Offered in collaboration with EY (Ernst & Young LLP), this program is provided at no cost to Small Businesses and their employees. We’ll be proactively reaching out to our Small Business customers in the coming weeks.

As always, we are here for you and your business. If you have any questions, please reach out.

Sincerely,
MetLife
