Key Statements

“So things like making part of our annual incentive bonus for all employees tied to hitting diversity goals, which we didn't just do instantaneously. We started by measuring, we started by sharing that data internally. We started by making it part of performance reviews, and then we introduced it into being part of our annual incentive plan. And now we make that data public, hoping to encourage, frankly, other companies to kind of do the same thing.”

“And I'm also very proud of how Mass Mutual has been focusing on diversity and inclusion for many years. We have, I think, really quickly become a leader in diversity and inclusion. And that starts at the top. Our board has a majority of women and people of color.”
