Sun Life Global Solutions Philippines gets GPTW certified for the 4th time in a row

Sun Life Global Solutions (SLGS) Philippines, a microcosm of the global insurance and asset management leader Sun Life, is once again certified as a Great Place to Work (GPTW) organization. This is the fourth consecutive year that the organization has received the certification and its first GPTW certification since it repositioned itself as Sun Life Global Solutions. The Survey results draw on the employees’ responses to an independently conducted survey by the Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture. 

The outcome of the survey shows that 93% people feel that they are fairly treated regardless of their sexual orientation, 92% experienced fair treatment regardless of race or gender, 91% affirm that the workplace is physically safe, and 90% shared a sense of pride on being a Sun Lifer and would like to tell others about the same.

The GPTW award reflects the strong foundation we have built together as a team. A foundation that is powered by our Purpose and a culture of deep care. We care for the well-being of our clients, for their healthier lives and financial security. We care for each other; we are emotionally vested in each other’s success. What inspires me is the fact that our teams are the driving force behind constantly building a purpose and values driven, deeply caring and empowered workplace. Together we advance our Purpose to inspire brighter future for all those who count upon us, clients, colleagues, and communities,” said Tarun Sareen, Managing Director, Sun Life Global Solutions. 

Adding to the thoughts shared by Tarun, Vice President and Site Head of SLGS Philippines Nathalie Bernardo also talked about how this certification is an inspiration for her to continue furthering the organization’s programs in diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, employee recognition and advocacy work.

“We are truly grateful for this honorific by Great Place to Work as we continue to foster a culture that embraces diversity; champions work-life harmony; aims to unleash everyone’s full potential; is about purpose and teamwork at its core; and fulfills its social responsibility.  Our goal is for every employee to feel heard and empowered to make a positive impact both with the organization and in our community," Bernardo shared. The organization celebrated this feat during the recently culminated SLGS’ Moments of Togetherness and Celebration event. 

What further makes it an employer of choice are the inclusive and equitable opportunities where each employee is encouraged to push their boundaries of imagination to solve for the business and the world. This culture of innovation is fueled by the collaborative and inclusive culture at SLGS where employees can grow and thrive, with a drive towards innovation, a commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEI&B) and embedding a culture of sustainability.

Over the years, SLGS has emerged as a talent and innovation hub, driving seamless digital transformation and providing technology, knowledge services and business services to Sun Life businesses globally, helping its clients achieve lifetime financial security and live healthier lives – its core purpose and mission. SLGS works with Sun Life teams across the group to support clients in areas such as operations, technology, actuarial, legal, and more.
