MetLife announced the launch of the MetLife Career Agency Portal for the Asia region. The unique, mobile responsive and multi-lingual platform, developed and designed in Asia, provides access to a wide array of resources and capabilities to educate, enable and inspire existing and prospective agents through their career cycle. Intuitive and easy to navigate, visitors to the platform are able to find information based on their respective career stage along with advice and insights from some of MetLife’s top performing agents in Asia.

Bharat Kannan, Senior Vice President and Chief Distribution Officer, MetLife Asia said, “MetLife is investing heavily in growing its distribution advantage globally and agency forms a key part of this in Asia.
