MetLife Japan Revises Compensation System for Office Employees

MetLife Insurance K.K. (Representative Executive Officer, Chairman, President and CEO: Dirk Ostijn) will implement a revision to its compensation system for office employees starting in June 2026. To continuously provide high-quality services to our customers, we have been working to create an environment where employees can work with peace of mind and demonstrate their strengths over the long term. This revision is intended to further evolve these efforts and create an environment where employees can work while having a clearer view of their future. Specifically, we will review the allocation of monthly salaries and seasonal bonuses, raise the level of monthly salaries, and realize stable salary payments throughout the year.

In light of changes in the social environment and work styles, we have continuously worked to enhance our personnel systems and welfare benefits, positioning the creation of an environment where each employee can work with peace of mind over the long term as an important management issue. We have received certain recognition from outside the company, such as being certified as a 'Great Place to Work' by the Great Place To Work® Institute, a third-party organization. This revision is part of such efforts, and by organizing the salary structure and increasing the weight of monthly salaries, we aim to create an environment where employees can easily plan their lives while looking ahead to the future.

With this revision, the starting salary for university graduates (based on monthly salary, including prepaid retirement allowance and fixed overtime allowance equivalent to 20 hours) for office employees (such as agency consulting positions and actuarial positions) will be changed from 278,000 yen to 400,000 yen.

We position our employees as the foundation of our corporate activities and irreplaceable beings in order to provide high-quality services by standing by each and every customer. We will continue to sincerely face social trends and the voices of our employees, further enhance our personnel and welfare systems including the compensation system, and work to realize a workplace environment where everyone can continue to work with peace of mind and be themselves.
