The Future of Work One of the silver linings of the pandemic was that our colleagues and teams learned new and different ways of working when the virus initially closed the doors of our offices. At Citi, we felt it would be a missed opportunity if we didn’t seize the moment to reimagine the workplace once the pandemic ease s. Our CEO, Jane Fraser, boldly embraced the desire to be a bank with brains and a soul, and to break out of the traditional mindset that required our colleagues to be in the office all day, every business day. We established principles to guide our flexible, future work model and related ways of working — all with the aim to drive collabora - tion and meaningful connections, maximize apprenticeship and learning opportunities, leverage technology to our advantage, support colleague well-being and belonging, and treat our colleagues equitably. We announced this future work model will take effect after colleagues return to the office, and the model will provide hybrid, remote and resident designations for colleagues. Hybrid roles offer colleagues the flexibility to work at least three days per week in the office and up to two days from home. The majority of Citi employ - ees have been designated as hybrid. Remote roles may be performed 100% from outside the office location. Resident roles are jobs that cannot be performed remotely, such as tellers in our branches and data center employees. In 2022, we will roll out the future work model and survey employees throughout the early phases, using data to understand what is working — and what isn’t — so we can adapt where we need to. To support hybrid and remote working, we have been introducing enhanced technology and tools that enable us to be more connected and collaborative, no matter where we work. The Benefit of Time Having an opportunity to recharge or step away from work can boost job productivity and morale. In 2021, we rolled out two new programs to do just that for those who have been employed by Citi for at least five years. Our “Refresh, Recharge, Reenergize” sabbatical program allows colleagues to take up to 12 weeks away from work to pursue personal interests or education, take extended travel or simply take time off. Employees will receive 25% of their base pay, do not have to provide an explanation or reason for taking a break, and are eligible for two sabbaticals during their full tenure at Citi. In the first year of the program, which was launched in 2021, more than 200 employees began to take sabbatical. Julie Berg, Head of Product and Segment Analytics, U.S. Consumer Analytics, took advantage of the new program by driving coast-to-coast (and back again), traveling more than 10,000 miles across 24 states with her dog, Hank, as her companion. “My sabbatical was like a reboot on the computer with the ability to purge ‘cached’ information,” Berg said. “I worked with my team to prepare for time off for about 6 months to ensure all of the work was covered. I am forever grateful to them and my manager for holding the fort while I was away.” Our new, pro bono “Giving Back” program, meanwhile, allows employees to lend their time and talents at a charitable organization for two to four weeks while still receiving 100% of their Citi base pay.
