Sanasa Life Insurance reobtains Great Place to Work certification

Sanasa Life Insurance was certified as a Great Place to Work for the second consecutive year by the global authority on workplace culture.

“As a responsible organisation that cares for its employees, Sanasa Life Insurance has its staff at heart,” said CEO Nuwanpriya Gunawardane. 

“This certification goes to prove our commitment towards creating a better working environment where our employees feel comfortable, valued and treat their workplace as if it were their own.”

Prior to obtaining the Great Place to Work certification, there are many initiatives that the organisation needs to implement. At Sanasa, the triple ‘P’ framework takes centre stage in the formation of these employee-friendly programmes within the organisation. Triple ‘P’ stands for Profit, People and Planet. By adopting these globally recognised strategic practices, Sanasa Life Insurance successfully positioned itself to apply for the Great Place to Work certification. Achieving Great Place to Work certification requires not only the implementation of best practices for workplace culture but also proof of their effectiveness.  In addition to evaluating the organisation’s framework, the workplace culture organisation Great Place to Work conducts an independent digital survey of randomly selected employees. This survey gathers unbiased feedback on key indicators such as employee satisfaction, diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, gender ratio and female employee safety. Certification is carried out based on the feedback of these criteria.

Something unique at Sanasa Life Insurance is that all actions regarding employee satisfaction are easily traceable.

Based on the company’s various policies and systems, every action that improves the working environment of the staff can be traced to where it originated from, also if and how it has helped develop an employee-centric culture.

Sanasa Life Insurance has established an employee-centric culture as a core principle. The organisation implements a merit-based recruitment process, recruiting talent from all religions, ethnic groups and regions of the country, solely based on qualifications and role suitability.
