EC7 Procedures for local hiring and proportion of senior management in locations of significant operation from the local community It is TI's strategy to hire the best and brightest individuals who either have a home near plant site communities though they may have attended school elsewhere, or who attended school near plant site communities. TI senior management in locations of significant operation is predominantly hired from the local community. Worldwide, 98 percent of TI's senior managers are from the local community where they work.
