**Transcript**A time a colleague gave me constructive feedback is probably within the first six months of my employment with MassMutual. I, after graduating college, started less than a month later at MassMutual, and it was my first real job. I mean, I had benefits. I had a salary. And at the same time, I had a lot to learn. And so I recall a colleague explaining that I did not need to be super apologetic in my emails, apologizing for things that were out of my control, but I could simply state them as fact. That's a lesson I still hold onto today. I think that going from college to employment, there's a different set of rules and expectations. And it's having colleagues that are able to provide you with that feedback and help you grow that truly becomes important to how you set up the foundation for what will become your career.

At MassMutual, we value both the flexibility that a remote work environment offers and the value that comes from connecting and collaborating in person with our colleagues. While most MassMutual employees have been working remotely due to the pandemic, we have begun encouraging our fully vaccinated employees to come to the office on a schedule that works for them.

Our future work environment will be one where the majority of our associates adopt a hybrid schedule working some days in the office and some days remotely, balancing flexibility with in-person collaboration. One where each manager works with their teams to determine a schedule that meets the needs of customers, the team and the business. While the majority of our employees will follow this hybrid model, some of our roles will continue to be 100% on-site and others may be 100% remote, subject to business needs.

Recognized as a 2021 Worlds Most Ethical Company by Ethisphere, MassMutual is guided by a single purpose: We help people secure their future and protect the ones they love. As a company, owned by our policyowners, we are defined by mutuality and our vision to put customers first. Its more than our company structure its our way of life. We are a company of people protecting people. Our company exists because people are willing to share risk and resources, and rely on each other when it counts. At MassMutual, we Live Mutual.
