Sun Life U.S. has been recognized as a Top Workplace by the Boston Globe for the seventh consecutive year. This recognition, facilitated by employee survey company Energage, highlights Sun Life's status as a preferred employer in various regions including Boston, Hartford, Milwaukee, and Kansas City.
Tammi Wortham, senior vice president of Human Resources at Sun Life U.S., stated that "culture has become our superpower – it fuels higher levels of employee engagement, and also keeps people committed to and enthusiastic about their work." She emphasized the importance of flexibility, support, and collaboration in maintaining a consistent culture across all office locations.
The Wellesley office is Sun Life's largest hub with approximately 1,300 employees. The company offers benefits such as paid family leave and sabbaticals alongside a flexible hybrid work model. This allows employees to choose their working environment based on where they feel most productive.
Wortham added that being recognized again in Boston confirms that "we're doing things right," attributing this success to feedback from employees themselves.
