Sun Life U.S. Celebrates Third Consecutive Year as Top Workplace in Milwaukee

Sun Life U.S. Recognized as a Top Workplace for the Third Time

In an impressive display of employee satisfaction, Sun Life U.S. has once again clinched a spot on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's list of Top Workplaces for 2026. This marks the third consecutive year for Sun Life, highlighting its commitment to establishing a positive workplace environment that resonates with its employees.

The company settled in Wisconsin following its 2022 acquisition of DentaQuest, which has been a key player in the Milwaukee area for over a decade. In 2025, Sun Life took a step further by relocating to a new office in Bayshore Center. This facility boasts cutting-edge workstations that incorporate advanced hybrid meeting technology along with a welcoming work café designed to enhance the work experience for all employees.

Tammi Wortham, the Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Sun Life U.S., shared her thoughts on the recognition: "Receiving this acknowledgment for a third year in Milwaukee emphasizes the effectiveness of our purpose-driven culture. It reflects our ongoing effort to support the DentaQuest team and our mutual objectives. We prioritize a progressive approach toward benefits, engagement, and flexibility – key elements that truly resonate with our employees. When employees feel valued and cared for, it not only inspires their work but also drives success for both individuals and the organization."

Sun Life’s Milwaukee office serves as a hub for DentaQuest employees, driving the operations of one of the nation’s largest dental insurers. DentaQuest stands out as the largest Medicaid dental provider in the United States, serving over 30 million members across 22 states.

The Top Workplaces program is a national and regional initiative orchestrated by Energage, relying on valuable employee feedback and insights into company culture and benefits. Sun Life U.S. is recognized not just in Milwaukee, but has received accolades nationwide, including five consecutive years with USA Today, seven years with the Boston Globe, and four years with the Hartford Courant.

Sun Life is dedicated to fostering a collaborative and supportive culture where all employees are encouraged to express their authentic selves. Alongside the Energage recognition, Sun Life has also earned accolades from Forbes as one of America's Best Large Employers and boasts the Great Places to Work designation every year.

Operating under a flexible hybrid model, Sun Life employees throughout the United States have the freedom to choose whether to work from home or in the office. For those living outside office locations, remote work is available, ensuring inclusivity for all team members.
