MetLife Insurance's Summer Open Office Event
On August 27 and 29, 2025, MetLife Insurance Co., Ltd., under the leadership of Dirk Osten, represented by the President and Chief Executive Officer, held a remarkable event in Tokyo's Sumida and Chiyoda districts. This occasion was tailored for employees' families, specifically designed as a "Summer Open Office" where children had the opportunity to participate as "Kids Employees" and engage in fun, educational experiences about the workings of the company and the life insurance industry.
The "Kids Employees" program started with children receiving their business cards and employee ID badges, participating in an engaging entrance ceremony. This innovative initiative provided an interactive atmosphere where kids learned about the fundamentals of life insurance, toured the office, and even experienced exchanging business cards with actual employees. One of the highlights of the event was a session focused on financial literacy, where children considered what to buy with their first paycheck, fostering an understanding of money management and its value.
Furthermore, a unique insurance policy exclusively available to participants, termed the "Kids Employee Special Insurance," was introduced. This initiative rewarded children for living healthily and achieving personal goals, making it a hit among the young attendees.
The Summer Open Office event was organized in response to many families expressing interest in seeing the workplace of their loved ones during business hours. This initiative required the cooperation of various departments within the company, ensuring a memorable and seamless experience. Smiles abounded throughout the event, creating beautiful summer memories for participants, employees, and their families alike.
