Sun Products Named 2016 Top Workplace by Hearst Media Services in Connecticut

“Being recognized as a top workplace in Connecticut is a true testament to the culture and work environment that the leaders and associates at Sun Products have created,” said Jeffrey P. Ansell, Chairman, President and CEO. “We encourage all associates to be leaders in their area of responsibility, and together, work to bring to life the Company’s mission of making everyday lives better.”

Headquartered in Wilton CT, Sun Products has 2,000 associates across North America, and an established portfolio of iconic brands including ‘all, Snuggle, Sun and Wisk. Sun Products was recently acquired by Henkel Consumer Goods Inc., and together the combination of both companies forms a strong #2 in the North America laundry market.

“I would like to thank our exceptional team of associates for making Sun Products a best place to work,” said Gretchen Crist, Chief Human Resources Officer. “We are always focused on improving associate engagement to attract and retain top talent, and this award is acknowledgement that Sun Products associates see the company as a place to expand their skills and build a rewarding career.“

Associates at Sun Products enjoy a competitive benefits program, flexible work schedules, wellness programs, professional development on the job, online and in the classroom, and participate in an annual bonus program. In addition, the company hosts social events and encourages associates to donate their time and talent to community and charitable outreach.

The top workplaces in CT are determined by the results of an employee survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. To be eligible for the award, at least 35% of associates must respond to the survey; 85% of Sun Products associates responded.

Sun Products will be featured in a special edition of the Connecticut Post on Sunday September 25th together with other Top Workplace winners. To learn about the 2016 Top Workplaces, visit www.topworkplaces.com.
