UBC IT Employee Spotlight: Ankita Sanawar

August 9, 2023

In this edition of our employee spotlight newsletter, we're thrilled to introduce you to one of our outstanding team members who has played a pivotal role in shaping our new hybrid workplace agreement. Through her dedication and passion, she has not only championed the cause of employee flexibility but has also brought a unique blend of creativity and expertise to the table. 

As an integral part of the UBC family for five years, Ankita has been one of the driving forces in the successful implementation of the hybrid workplace agreement. With a background in inter recruitment, she has an innate understanding of the value that flexibility brings to both our employees and the organization as a whole. In her role, Ankita has focused on showcasing how the hybrid workplace agreement aligns with UBC IT's core values and goals. She believes that the agreement not only fosters a dynamic hybrid culture but also serves as a powerful tool for retaining our talented workforce. By emphasizing the option of a hybrid workplace, she has highlighted the significance of work-life balance and employee well-being.   

Beyond her remarkable contributions at UBC IT, Ankita wears many hats. She's a devoted parent to a spirited 3-year-old who just started preschool, and she cherishes every moment spent with her family, whether it's hiking through scenic trails or exploring the wonders of nature. Her creative flair shines through in her passion for DIY projects, which recently led her to transform a vintage vase into a stunning piece of art. As we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of work, Ankita exemplifies the spirit of innovation and adaptability that makes UBC IT a remarkable place to be. Let's celebrate her contributions and the positive impact of the hybrid workplace agreement on our team and organization.
