WELLESLEY, Mass., Nov. 30,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Life U.S. is in the top ten
of the Boston Globe's 2023 Top Places to Work in the largest
company category. This is Sun Life's sixth consecutive Top Places
to Work recognition from the Boston Globe, based on employee
feedback through surveys conducted by Energage, and information
about benefits, employee culture, sustainability, and diversity,
equity and inclusion (DE&I) programs. Sun Life has continued to
build a strong reputation as an employer of choice with a
supportive, caring culture, flexible work approach, and robust
benefits, including one of the most generous paid family and
medical leave programs in the country.
"Receiving this recognition once again shows us that when we
keep our employees at the center, we see great results and
committed people," said Dan
Fishbein, M.D., president of Sun Life U.S. "From our
flexible, hybrid workstyle, to our newly designed offices, to our
generous benefits programs, we believe in a work environment that
meets our employees' needs, both in the office and when working
from home. We're thrilled to make the Boston Globe's list once
again, as we continue focusing on retaining and recruiting top
talent."
In July, Sun Life U.S. re-opened its Boston-area office in Wellesley, the largest of its seven major
office hubs. The space features specially designed workspaces that
accommodate group collaboration, socializing, and quiet, heads-down
work. The new office design also offers extensive amenities that
provide the comforts of home, including well-equipped kitchens,
locker rooms with showers, treadmill desk offices, a yoga/fitness
studio, a prayer/meditation room, and a relaxation room that can be
utilized by nursing mothers or any employee who needs time for
themselves. Sun Life's Wellesley
office also offers a deck with a fire pit and other comfortable
seating areas for employees to gather.
"An inclusive and supportive culture is important in every
business, but especially when you have multiple offices and people
working from home on a hybrid basis," said Tammi Wortham, senior vice president, Human
Resources, Sun Life U.S. "Through our employee engagement programs
we see consistent commitment from our employees that strengthens
our teams and results in high levels of talent retention."
Sun Life offers a flexible, hybrid work approach, allowing
employees to decide where they work each day. The result is a
balance of home and in-office time that supports people's busy
lives and fosters deeper connections with colleagues.
In addition to six consecutive years on the Boston Globe's list,
Sun Life's other U.S. workplace recognitions include both the
Top Workplaces USA award and the
Hartford Courant's Top Places to Work list for three consecutive
years. This year Sun Life U.S. was also named a Best Employer for
Diversity by Forbes, and for the past two years was named a Girls
Club Top 25 Female Friendly Company and received the Great Places
to Work certification. Sun Life has received 100% on the Corporate
Equality Index by Human Rights Campaign for 14 consecutive years
and is listed on the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index.
Globally, Sun Life was named one of the World's Best Companies
for Women by Forbes in 2023.
