WELLESLEY, Mass., March 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Life U.S., a leading provider of employee benefits and human resource technology solutions, is now a strategic Workday Wellness partner. Workday Wellness, an AI-powered solution, vastly improves the benefits management experience by offering employers a real-time view into the benefits and wellness programs employees utilize and value most. Sun Life and Workday are building connectors to allow Sun Life to integrate its wellness and benefits offerings, making administration easier for employers who use both providers.

"Our goal is to make using our benefits – whether you're the employer or the employee – as simple as possible, while delivering the most value," said Joi Tillman, president, Group Benefits, Sun Life U.S. "As a Workday Wellness partner, we will be able to enhance the benefits experience for everyone by creating a more seamless experience, and enabling better access to benefits and health services."

A long-standing Workday partner, Sun Life has developed a broad portfolio of data connection solutions (application programming interfaces or APIs), known as Sun Life Link, which automate benefit data exchanges to and from Sun Life employer clients through the Workday platform. The automation of these tasks gives substantial time back to HR teams so they can focus on the projects and aspects of their job that really matter to them, like engaging with and caring for employees.

As a Workday Wellness partner, Sun Life is developing additional APIs that enhance connectivity for employers by integrating more employee data for functions like plan setup, enrollment and eligibility, absence management, EOI (evidence of insurability) and billing. By aligning benefits and wellness program data with other employee data, employees can spend less time managing their benefits, and more time experiencing the support services and health access programs their benefits provide.
