David Healy, President of Group Benefits at Sun Life U.S., underscores the importance of empowering workers to prioritize family without sacrificing financial stability.

By prioritizing family leave options, Sun Life U.S. not only enhances workplace satisfaction but also fosters a culture of empathy and support, enriching the lives of employees and their families.

This strategic expansion not only empowers employees to embrace their familial responsibilities with confidence but also stimulates economic growth by bolstering workforce participation and engagement. Through its unwavering commitment to employee-centric policies, Sun Life U.S. demonstrates that corporate success and social responsibility are not mutually exclusive—they are symbiotic forces that drive positive change and prosperity for all.
