23 Methods and Procedures Procedure The first wave of recruiting was completed by WSPS, which leveraged its clients, two open webinars that introduced Hugr Authentic Connections app, and WSPS mailing lists and council groups. Organizations were also recruited through Territorial's connections. Interested organizations that wanted to provide their employees with the opportunity to participate in the study (which was required to get access to Hugr Authentic Connections app) opted in. Once an organization opted in, it was provided with a pre-recorded webinar delivering information on the study and followed by individual meetings with the lead PI to answer any questions. Organizations that agreed to participate completed a company intake form that included basic demographic information such as company size and sector. The organizations were provided with a standard email and distribution materials regarding the study to send to their employees internally. Employees interested in participating contacted the researchers directly, such that organizations did not know if they were participating in the study. The second wave of recruiting was facilitated by the Johnston Group (Administrators of the Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan) in April 2021. Johnston Group, through their strategic service partner, Arete, promoted and made available the Hugr app to all members of the Chamber of Commerce Group Insurance Plan. Chambers Plan members were also invited to participate in the research study but were not required to participate in the study in order to access the app and therefore, understandably, had lower participation rates. Most participants (over 98%) were recruited via organizations connected with WSPS or Territorial. Arete and its partners may have additional data on the Chambers Plan members' engagement that is outside the scope of this research study, which followed the ethical guidelines of the SMU Research
