When Harrison’s family immigrated to Canada in 1994 S.U.C.C.E.S.S. provided them with assistance. So, years later, when he saw the opportunity to work here when a role opened during the pandemic, he went for it.
In his role, Harrison draws from his experience in the private sector to create best practices to drive engagement internally, building trust and connection to make others aware that S.U.C.C.E.S.S. as a reputable employer that cares. “Every day there is something new, a new challenge to address, when working in the private sector I was behind the scenes, whereas at S.U.C.C.E.S.S. you are part of the improvements,” he says.
Harrison treasures the flexibility of the organization, particularly while he was adapting to a new place and sector while working remotely. The outcome of this experience has been one of his biggest achievements: the new hybrid policy which is “adaptable for everybody and maximizes resources.”
As a mid-career professional in the HR field, working at S.U.C.C.E.S.S. has allowed Harrison to challenge himself in a supporting environment. He shares that at S.U.C.C.E.S.S., maybe you end up taking a position you never imagined, because you discover new career opportunities adding value to your professional development. “If you want to work with talented people that really care,” Harrison says, “this is your place.”
