Benefits at MassMutual

MassMutual takes a holistic and flexible approach to compensation and benefits. We want our benefits to meet our employees’ diverse needs at every stage of life. Here, we know that there's more to life than your job and there's more to your aspirations than a paycheck.

“Our benefits strategy is built around empowering employees to prioritize who and what is most important to them. Our suite of benefits empowers them to take care of themselves mentally, physically, and financially. We also know it's important for employees to be there for the ones they love, and we help make that possible with generous caregiver leave, bereavement leave where they can define who their loved ones are, and volunteer time off for causes they care about. Our benefits go beyond industry standards—it’s about supporting all employees’ well-being in ways that are meaningful to them.” - Cynthia Ryan, Head of Human Resources
