Sun Life sought to mirror its client-first strategy internally with employees. Rigid, time-consuming and error-prone manual processes existed for many business protocols and employee programmes.?
The company found opportunities to reduce employee frustrations in finding answers to HR questions. It also wanted to streamline workflows associated with key areas of importance to employees, such as performance management and total rewards.
We want to get information into employees¡¯ hands before they even know they need it.

Trusted tools to help Sun Life put employees first.?
An early ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ adopter, Sun Life had deployed ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Human Capital Management years before. Over time, the two firms built a trusted strategic relationship, with Sun Life playing an active role in the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Community and ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Rising user events. So, when Sun Life wanted to improve the employee experience to strengthen engagement and productivity, it turned to ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ.?
²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ People Experience and ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Extend fit the bill. The former delivers a personalised, intelligent employee experience to improve efficiency, knowledge sharing, and collaboration across any device, from desktop to tablet to smartphone. With machine learning, it curates experiences for each user, boosting productivity. By predicting what employees want and offering quick access to what they need, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ People Experience saves them time and reduces stress. ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Extend enables Sun Life to build apps that extend their existing ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ applications to meet the company¡¯s unique needs.
Enhances employee engagement.?
²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ People Experience helps Sun Life engage employees in more intuitive and personalised ways, putting them at the centre of all they do. They gain easy access to their most used applications, inside and outside of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. Plus, with machine learning, it suggests tasks, apps and announcements, tailored to each employee¡¯s needs.?
The application also combines ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ and non-²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ tasks, learning, and third-party content into one concierge-style interaction for each employee.
At Sun Life, the strength of our ongoing partnership with ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ really comes down to trust.

Improves employee productivity.
By personalising tasks and actions for each Sun Life employee, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ People Experience cuts the time spent navigating ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. In fact, users can easily interact with it by voice using their virtual ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Assistant. This way, they can focus on more value-adding tasks, boosting their productivity and enhancing Sun Life¡¯s entire organisation, too.?
Whether Sun Life employees are in the office or working remotely and need quick answers, guidance or other help, they can do it from one place: ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ People Experience. It¡¯s available on their desktop, tablet or mobile device.? Now they can get support whenever they need it.
²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ¡¯s vision aligns with ours to delivery extraordinary people experiences.

Saves Sun Life valuable time and resources.?
Sun Life used to have a paper-based, manual tuition application and reimbursement process that required layers of approvals and hard copies. With ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Extend, Sun Life built an app that completely digitalised the process.?
Now, 98 percent of its tuition-reimbursement applications no longer need manual interventions. This saves valuable time and resources, creating capacity for Sun Life to focus on further enhancing the employee journey.
