ANDREA EVANS

CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER

Andrea Evans joined Stradling during the first days of the pandemic, in the midst of a complete remodel of the firm’s Newport Beach headquarters. She immediately worked with the IT department to execute a rapid transition to a fully virtual platform across all offices. She then designed and implemented a hybrid-remote/onsite policy, as well as an overhaul of the firm’s retirement and health benefits packages, with no increase in employee attrition, and achieving material cost reductions for the firm.

Evans also has been instrumental in creating weekly “attractive nuisance” events, (happy hours, breakfasts etc.), and monthly personal performance awards (dinners, hotel stays, event tickets) to encourage employees to voluntarily return to onsite and improve morale.
