In the fourth the paragraph, the title for Kristine Poznanski should read: executive vice president and head of Global Customer Solutions, MetLife (instead of: senior vice president and head of Global Customer Solutions, MetLife).

The corrected release reads:

The evaluation included a detailed audit of 40 practices in the Customer Service Center supporting MetLife’s U.S. Pensions, Institutional Income Annuities and Structured Settlements businesses, and surveyed customers who recently contacted MetLife.

The customer satisfaction survey includes the time on hold before the customer speaks with a customer service representative; the representative’s courtesy, knowledge, and concern for the customer; and, timely resolution of the customer’s inquiry. Additionally, the callers evaluate their experience with the automated phone system based on the clarity of the information provided, the ease of navigating the phone menu prompts, and the ease of understanding the phone menu instructions.
