Sun Life U.S. has been named a strategic partner of Workday Wellness, an AI-powered solution designed to improve the management of employee benefits. This partnership aims to simplify the administration of benefits for employers by enhancing data connectivity between Sun Life and Workday's platforms.
Joi Tillman, president of Group Benefits at Sun Life U.S., stated, "Our goal is to make using our benefits – whether you're the employer or the employee – as simple as possible, while delivering the most value." She added that being a Workday Wellness partner will help create a more seamless experience and better access to health services.
Sun Life has been a long-time partner with Workday and offers a range of data connection solutions known as Sun Life Link. These application programming interfaces (APIs) automate benefit data exchanges for employer clients through the Workday platform. The automation is intended to free up time for HR teams, allowing them to focus on other important aspects of their roles.
As part of its new role as a Workday Wellness partner, Sun Life is developing additional APIs aimed at improving connectivity for employers. These enhancements will integrate more employee data related to plan setup, enrollment and eligibility, absence management, evidence of insurability (EOI), and billing. This integration allows employees to spend less time managing their benefits and more time utilizing support services.
