Sun Life coworking space named among best in Asia

Sun Life Financial Philippines, the top life insurance company in the Philippines, was recently recognized in the Herman Miller Liveable Office Awards for innovating its Manila headquarters, the Sun Life Centre in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

Sun Life was named second runner-up in the Coworking and Collaborative Space category, specifically for the new look of its 9th and 12th floors, which were recently renovated to adapt an “open office space.”

The redesign, which had the renowned Goudie Associates at the helm, was in line with the company’s goal of promoting collaboration and productivity in the workplace. Sun Life was one of only nine winners honored in the awarding ceremonies held recently in Tokyo, out of over a hundred entries from all over Asia.

Organized by Herman Miller Asia Pacific, a globally recognized provider of furnishings and related technologies and services, the Liveable Office Awards aims to raise awareness on the importance of good workspace design for companies to leverage broader organizational goals.

“Together with our design team from Goudie Associates, we are delighted to receive this award from Herman Miller Asia Pacific,” Sun Life chief operations officer Karen Casas said. “Embracing change, even something as simple as redesigning a workplace, can be daunting. But by innovating the Sun Life Center’s design, we have made it more conducive for our employees, paving the way for us to be more effective in serving our clients.”
