WELLESLEY, Mass., Jan. 14,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Life U.S. has
been named a Top Place to Work by the Boston Globe, through
employee survey company Energage. With several consecutive years of
recognition in Boston,
Hartford and nationally, as well
as newer recognition in Milwaukee and Kansas City, Sun Life has established itself
as an employer of choice around the country. The Top Workplaces
recognition is based on employee survey results and information
about the company's employee programming.
"Culture has become our superpower – it fuels higher levels of
employee engagement, and also keeps people committed to and
enthusiastic about their work," said Tammi
Wortham, senior vice president, Human Resources, Sun Life
U.S. "Things like flexibility, support and collaboration have
become cultural mainstays at Sun Life, and we have worked hard to
make our culture consistent in Massachusetts and in our other office
locations across the country."
Sun Life's Wellesley office is
the largest of its office hubs, home to approximately 1,300
employees. In addition to a generous paid family and medical leave
program, sabbaticals and other benefits, Sun Life provides its
employees with a flexible, hybrid work model that allows them to
decide which days to use the office. With this approach, employees
determine where they will be most productive that day and
experience better work/life balance.
When employees work in the office, they enjoy an environment
that offers the tools and resources to host meetings and
collaborate with colleagues in person and virtually. Employees can
sit in different areas throughout the day, depending on the type of
work they are doing.
"As we continue to build our Top Workplace platform, we realize
that it takes a combination of things to be a top place to work,"
added Wortham. "From benefits, to culture, to hybrid flexibility
and belief in our purpose of improving health access, we are proud
to continuously foster an environment that inspires people to do
their best work every day. Receiving this recognition in
Boston once again lets us know
we're doing things right, and it is truly gratifying to know that
feedback came directly from our employees."
