75Diversified conglomerate Sunshine Holdings PLC (CSE: SUN) announced the launch of its new Group-wide people management platform, marking an important milestone in the organisation’s broader digital transformation and governance journey.
The platform was unveiled at a special ceremony held in Colombo recently, attended by the Group’s senior leadership including Group CEO Shyam Sathasivam, project teams, Sunshine employees and technology partners. The initial rollout immediately supports more than 1,700 employees across the Healthcare and Consumer sectors, with further expansion planned across other business units in subsequent phases.
Designed to support Sunshine Holdings’ continued growth and operational scale, the new platform establishes a unified digital environment that strengthens workforce governance, enhances organisational visibility, and supports more informed decision-making across the Group.
“As Sunshine enters its next phase of growth, our ability to scale will depend on how effectively we engage, enable and develop our people. This initiative represents a foundational investment in creating a more transparent, performance-focused organisation, ensuring that individual growth and organisational progress move forward together. When we strengthen how our people connect their efforts to the Group’s ambitions, we strengthen the future of the entire organisation,” said Sunshine Holdings Group CEO, Shyam Sathasivam.
As part of its transformation journey, Sunshine Holdings selected Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) as the technology foundation for the platform following a structured evaluation process. The cloud-based solution provides a secure and scalable environment that supports enterprise-wide workforce governance, advanced workforce analytics, and stronger organisational planning capabilities.
“Sunshine Holdings is now at an important juncture where it has grown in both scale and complexity. In such a context, it is imperative to ensure that our internal systems evolve in step with our people and our businesses. This platform strengthens the foundations that support our workforce, enabling more meaningful engagement, greater organisational consistency and an employee experience that reflects the direction in which the Group is moving,” said Sunshine Holdings Group Chief People and Corporate Communications Officer, Michelle Senanayake.
The initiative was implemented through close collaboration between the Group’s HR, digital, and business teams together with its implementation partners, ensuring that global best practices were aligned with local operational needs and organisational culture.
“Sustainable transformation begins with ownership, collaboration and a willingness to improve the way we work before introducing technology. This initiative reflects a collective commitment across teams to build a strong and disciplined digital foundation, one that will continue to support our people and enable future transformation across the Group,” said Sunshine Holdings Group Chief Digital Officer, Infiyaz Ali.
The new platform strengthens organisational governance, improves operational productivity, and enhances workforce engagement, reinforcing Sunshine Holdings’ long-term vision of building a digitally enabled, people-focused organisation capable of supporting its next phase of growth.
