WELLESLEY, Mass., Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Life U.S. has been named a 2025 Top Place to Work by the Baltimore Sun, building on recognitions in Milwaukee, Kansas City, Mo., Boston and Hartford, Conn., where Sun Life has other offices. Through employee survey company Energage, Sun Life was ranked on factors like employee programs, engagement, culture, benefits, social responsibility and career development. Sun Life has also received national recognition as a recipient of the USA Today Top Workplace award for five consecutive years, among other national workplace recognitions.
