SUNSHINE Holdings PLC has always believed that its people are the heart of its success.

Sunshine Holdings sets standard for workplace excellence

In its journey to create a high-trust, purpose-driven culture, it partnered with Great Place To Work, (GPTW) the global authority on workplace culture, to enhance the employee experience across its sectors. Through ongoing assessments, feedback, and values-driven initiatives, the Group strengthened its culture of care while guiding teams through periods of change.

Group Chief People and Corporate Communications Officer, Michelle Senanayake noted that a key shift was from, "Assumptions to evidence-based action."

Insights from the Great Place To Work Trust Index Survey and regular pulse checks highlighted employees' needs for clarity, trust, and belonging, leading to improvements in onboarding, leadership communication, and the launch of The Voice Sunshine feedback platform.

Employee surveys revealed gaps in onboarding and career visibility for frontline staff. In response, Sunshine enhanced its induction programs, added buddy systems, introduced cultural storytelling, and launched career clinics with clear growth paths, making employees feel seen, supported, and empowered.
