LETHBRIDGE – Two hundred employees will be affected as the U.S. division of Sun Life Financial closes its Lethbridge office.
The majority of employees are being offered telecommuting positions that will see them work from home, according to Amanda Gallo, associate director of communications for Sun Life.
However, Gallo would not confirm if the move includes any layoffs of staff at the W.T. Hill Boulevard South location.
The Lethbridge closure is part of a “virtual organization transitioning” that is occurring at U.S. Sun Life locations across North America.
The Lethbridge transition will happen in two phases: phase one is set for September to November, with phase two following between January and March. The company will vacate the building by April 2016.
