Working Mother magazine today named MetLife as a 2007 Working Mother Best Company.  This is the ninth consecutive time MetLife has been honored with this distinction.  As a current customer of Knowledge Infusion, and one of my primary clients, I've had first hand experience working with the wonderful individuals at MetLife ,many of them working mothers (and fathers).  MetLife truly is an organization that embodies and promotes the talent management programs that make it possible for working mothers to have a positive work/life balance and get the most out of a fulfilling career and a robust family life.

As we get deeper into the much publicized war for talent, programs such as the ones utilized by MetLife will be increasingly more important to fuel the talent pipeline. MetLife is demonstrating early in the game that by utilizing creative talent programs such as telecommuting, compressed work week, emergency child care, and flextime, you can tap talent-rich segments of the workforce and enable them to become a catalyst in fulfilling your business objectives and strategy. 

Congratulations to MetLife and the entire HR team on this much deserved distinction.

Another infusion of knowledge...
