With another employee sharing “The Well-Being Wallet, education reimbursement, time off & leave programs are top notch and unlike anything I've experienced”.
- Time off & leaves: MassMutual’s flexible time-off and leave programs support employees’ well-being, help them care for loved ones, and balance personal priorities. Offerings include inclusive caregiver, bereavement, and other essential leaves; generous parental leave and financial support for adoption and surrogacy; up to 24 hours of paid volunteer time annually; and generous vacation, flexible holidays, companywide paid holidays and remote work weeks, and five “take care days.”
