WELLESLEY, Mass., June 8, 2023 ~ Sun Life U.S. has been named one of America's Best Employers for Diversity 2023 by Forbes, a recognition that is the result of extensive market research and surveying workers from companies with more than 1,000 employees. Sun Life is committed to fostering a diverse workforce in an inclusive, supportive environment and has implemented new best practices for hiring, retention, and career development.
Dan Fishbein, M.D., president of Sun Life U.S., said "Diversity makes us a stronger organization. A diverse workforce means more ideas, perspectives and expertise will be shared among our colleagues, across all areas of the business. We are proud to receive this recognition and will continue our initiatives to expand diversity at Sun Life."
In 2020 Sun Life U.S. established Allies Acting for Change (AAC), a group of employees operating as an extension of the executive team that assesses business practices and makes recommendations to the company.
