Agnes Ross, Executive Director
of Human Resources
For more than a decade, Agnes Ross has lead BC
Housing’s HR team and stewarded the
organization’s growth from just over two hundred
staff members to the almost six hundred people it employs
today.
Most of BC Housing’s growth occurred at a time
when the province was beginning to experience the effects of
retiring baby-boomers and an increased competition for
talent. To ensure that the organization had the people it
needed to carry a larger and more challenging mandate, Agnes
led the development of a number of innovative programs in
support of a strategic People Strategy. The BC Housing People
Strategy reflects best practices in employee development and
recognition and a culture of accountability.
Prior to 1997, Agnes Ross managed the Human Resources
function for organizations like Consumer and Corporate
Affairs and the Woodlands Institution. Agnes brings with her
an extensive background in all functional areas of Human
Resources Management.
Agnes is designated as a Certified Human Resources
Practitioner (CHRP) with Bachelor of Arts degree in
Psychology and English from the University of Calgary. |
