Sun Life U.S. Earns Dual Workplace Honors in Kansas City—Leadership and Engagement Shine Through
Recognition Underscores Consistent Employee Engagement and Retention
Sun Life U.S. has just been named a Top Place to Work in Kansas City, receiving accolades from both the Kansas City Business Journal and Kansas City Star. This local recognition adds to Sun Life’s growing resume of workplace awards across major cities, building on its established reputation in Boston, Hartford, Baltimore, and Milwaukee.
These awards aren’t just plaques for the lobby—they reflect deep-rooted employee engagement, a purpose-driven culture, and programs that drive retention. The Kansas City Star's recognition, for example, comes directly from employee survey feedback, revealing a workforce that truly values its environment. With a near 95% employee retention rate, it’s clear that Sun Life’s efforts to listen to—and invest in—its team are paying off.
Benefits and Flexibility Are Central to Sun Life’s Workplace Strategy
What’s behind these honors? Sun Life has doubled down on creating a robust and supportive experience for its 8,300+ U.S. employees, including those in Kansas City who support core offerings like disability, life, dental, stop-loss, and client service operations. Their hybrid work model gives team members the autonomy to choose when to come into the office, boosting both productivity and work-life balance.
The company’s benefit suite isn’t typical either. Employees at Sun Life gain access to generous paid family and medical leave, mental health support, menopause care, and guidance navigating the health system. Unique perks, like a sabbatical program available every five years, demonstrate a long-term commitment to employee wellness.

Culture, Purpose, and Opportunities Drive High Employee Retention
Sun Life’s senior vice president of Human Resources, Tammi Wortham, credits the near-95% retention rate to their caring and mission-aligned culture. Employees are connected to the bigger picture, and the company emphasizes helping people see how their roles contribute to broader business goals. This, leaders say, gives Sun Life a competitive edge in attracting and keeping top talent in a tight labor market.
Sun Life continues to operate major hubs throughout the U.S.—in Baltimore; Hartford, Conn.; Kansas City, Mo.; Milwaukee; Portland, Maine; and Wellesley, Mass. Employees across these offices support clients and partners with an expanding range of products and services, enabling Sun Life to help approximately 50 million Americans access vital insurance and health benefits.
Broader Impact: A Model for Benefits Innovation and Workplace Well-Being
In an era when workplace flexibility, benefits, and purposeful engagement are in the spotlight, Sun Life’s recognition in Kansas City signals a broader shift in what today’s workforce values. The company’s $1.62 trillion in assets under management is notable, but its investment in people may be the key driver behind both operational success and employee satisfaction.
For those seeking a workplace where engagement, wellness, and long-term growth are priorities, Sun Life’s recent accolades—and their details—might be worth a closer look. As new recognitions roll in, it’s a reminder that a purpose-driven culture and robust employee support can deliver tangible returns for both people and the business.
