SADA, which welcomed its 500th employee this year, may be growing quickly, but its small-business culture remains. From a robust and welcoming onboarding experience that includes a meet and greet with its CEO/president and the executive management team to recognizing long-time team members, new employees, and special achievements at weekly virtual town halls, SADA makes people the centerpiece of its growth and success. As a company founded by immigrants, and in the spirit of its core tenet, “Together, we’re all in,” SADA continually seeks opportunities to foster an inclusive, diverse, and supportive environment. From using machine learning technology to screen job descriptions for bias to providing training and resources that encourage a deeper awareness, SADA strives to ensure that everyone who interacts with the company feels welcomed. SADA University is an eight-week training program designed to help bridge the gap between under-represented talent and meaningful job opportunities.
