2011 performance

Results | Looking ahead

TI employees and retirees continued giving generously of their time and expertise to enrich the communities in which they live. Some highlights for the year include:
  • Expanding the TI Founders Community Service Awards program to India and secured 74 nominations from U.S. and India employees.
  • Training 159 community ambassadors in the U.S. to help them be more effective board members.
  • Partnering with the Volunteer Center of North Texas to host approximately 400 Dallas employees and 35 agencies at our third annual volunteer fair.
  • Conducting an employee survey to identify relevant volunteer opportunities.
  • Creating a collaboration room on Infolink, our employee intranet, to promote volunteer opportunities and local arts and culture events. Employees can share their volunteering stories and photos as well.
  • Organizing 10 volunteer activities for the TI Alumni Association’s (TIAA) community involvement team.
  • Encouraging new employees from the acquisition of National Semiconductor to remain involved in their communities; exceeding goals for end-of-year employee giving and volunteer programs (results not included in TI totals; will integrate in 2012).
For our legacy of volunteerism, TI was recognized by a variety of civic organizations during the year. For example:
  • We received the Trendsetter Award from the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas for our focus on volunteerism.
  • The North Texas Commission named TI one of 40 “North Texas Superheroes” for our contributions to the region.
  • TI received the “Corporate Citizen of the Year” award from the Plano Chamber of Commerce.
  • The Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce named us “Corporation of the Year” for our dedication to community involvement.

  • Expand our community ambassador program to other U.S. sites, and train at least 175 employees and retirees.
  • Expand the TI Founders Community Service Awards globally.
  • Continue to build a volunteer program in China.
  • Provide training and support to assist targeted TI sites outside of Dallas in evaluating and building more robust volunteer programs, including the development of employee-led community involvement teams and hosting two to four volunteer events and/or donation drives per year.
  • Enhance the TIAA website and continue encouraging retirees to connect in their local communities.
