Many communities have been affected by the pandemic differently, Hougardy said. "We want to ensure that our strategy has focuses that help those communities," she said, "by inviting diverse voices to the table, ensuring those voices have influence in decision making and supporting them in the tech community." Although the Great Resignation feels more prevalent in the US than Canada, according to Hougardy, she said Ada has taken measures to help with recruitment and retention in case of further economic changes due to the pandemic. "Our strongest assets to share our story and what it really means to work at Ada are our Owners," by which she means employees, she said. "To support Owners that would like to develop their personal brand online, we have a social ambassador program to encourage sharing, writing, and engagement." When it comes to retention, Hougardy said Ada remains competitive with its compensation. All employees get a bi-annual compensation review by the company's Total Rewards team, to ensure that no one is being paid under market for their role. Employees also get quarterly promotions or pay increases to ensure they are progressing in their role or elevated to a more senior role. The number-one skill she's used to be successful in HR is empathy, she said. "Empathy has helped me collaborate cross-functionally and build teams. Empathy has even helped with the 'harder' side of HR with things like project management, data analysis, and budgeting." These "harder" sides are now boilerplate to the role, she said. HR is no longer just there to "hire and fire" employees or to enforce policies and processes, she said, "but to really support and engage with employees as 'whole humans.'"
