In addition to lessons learned from a crisis, a lot of the changes ITI has made have been based on employee feedback and best practices among its member companies, “because they have a lot of interesting ideas about how to attract and retain a talented workforce,” Oxman said. That includes optimizing organizational culture by investing in people in meaningful ways. Here are seven ways that ITI is doing it: **Work wherever.** ITI employees can work from anywhere in the world for up to four weeks a year. “The idea is that people should have the flexibility to do their work from a place that makes sense for them for where they are in their lives at a particular point in time,” Oxman said. One employee recently chose to work from Brazil. And the four-week limit means there are no tax implications.
