Shannon Allen is the SAS Senior Director of Employer Branding and HR Communication - two fields that typically don't go together. But SAS wants its teams to understand that HR is not just about hiring and firing - it's about intentionally building a culture with values and a mission that everyone can get behind. And that culture has led SAS to be named a Best Workplace in Technology by Fortune in 2021.
