Human Resources Manager

WHERE RESULTS MATTER

DEI driven by action and constant improvement

Inspired roadmaps aren’t just for product teams. At Hotel Engine, they're for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, too. To expedite progress, Human Resources Manager Jocelyn Ruby leans on HR tools that collect company-wide feedback on DEI efforts, and increase pay equity and understanding of how the associate base identifies. Next up? More unconscious bias training, and tweaks to ensure consistent recruiting and interview experiences through diversity-specific groups. Yearly metrics, along with a lot of passion, keep Ruby’s team accountable in building a place where everyone thrives.

Having the full support of our CEO, vice presidents, directors and more has helped us move faster in our efforts to put formal processes in place, and emphasizes to our entire team the importance of DEI.

BIAS FOR ACTION

Stewards of success, at work and beyond

Hotel Engine believes success should be shared, which is why it planted over a quarter of a million trees and donated substantial sums to Black Girl Ventures, Denver Children’s Home and Make a Wish Colorado in 2021. This year, the company is planting even more trees and supporting causes like SafeHouse Denver, The Korey Wise Innocence Project and Children of Uganda. To Content and SEO Manager Audrey Fairbrother, these initiatives are greater extensions of Hotel Engine’s values. “We know that ‘together we thrive,’” she said. “The stronger the communities around us are, the stronger we are.”

When I come to work every day, I can see that I’m helping make life easier for our customers and for those in our community through our collective efforts. It’s rewarding and empowering.

ON THE FAST TRACK

Leadership that wants to see you shine

Knowing how to land your career goal isn’t always easy. That’s why Hotel Engine’s talent is guided through curated growth tracks to keep those aspirations in reach. Take Engineering Manager Brendan Doyle, who started as an individual contributor before stepping up to lead a team of eight. In working with his manager, Doyle identified which benchmarks he’d need to hit to level up. Then, leading up to his promotion, leadership dedicated time to prepare him for his new role through weekly one-on-ones, recommending reading and setting up informational meetings with former engineering managers.

It’s a lot easier to reach your goals when they’re clearly defined and you have the support to reach them.
