MassMutual Work-Life Balance & Wellbeing

What are some of the key ways MassMutual invests in the well-being of your employees? 

At MassMutual, we focus on providing holistic and flexible benefits. We know there’s much more to our employees’ lives than the work they do for us, and we honor that. That means we have core benefits like medical, dental, 401(k) and generous vacation time, but we go far beyond that to offer meaningful benefits that support our employees’ full, unique lives. For example, we offer a $5,000 annual charitable contribution match and paid time off for employees to volunteer for causes they care about. We also offer resources like health coaching and fitness classes, both onsite and virtual. We’re always seeking to increase the breadth and flexibility of what we offer, ensuring our benefits meet employees’ diverse needs at each stage of life.

Part of this is empowering employees to prioritize who and what is most important to them. From bereavement leave where employees can define who their loved ones are, to generous caregiver leave, we want employees to be there for the ones they love.

This is just a snapshot of some of our benefits. It’s not about industry standards — it’s about supporting all employees’ well-being in ways that are meaningful to them.
 

The last couple of years have been especially taxing on people's physical and mental health. How has MassMutual adapted or expanded its benefits offerings to support employees' needs and meet them where they are?

Mental, physical and financial health are core components of our flexible and holistic well-being strategy. We offer MassMutual employees and members of their households access to a range of free, confidential mental health resources. As an example, all employees and members of their household have access to virtual and in-person counseling and coaching resources through a personalized care plan.

There’s also our $1,250 annual “Well-Being Wallet” to support employees on their wellness journeys. The results have been phenomenal. The diversity and flexibility of what is eligible is critical. We believe in giving employees the resources and the freedom to choose the most fulfilling wellness path for them.
