As we begin the new year, reflecting on the year passed by brings forth stories—stories of growth, resilience, and the undeniable power of our people. At IT By Design, 2024 wasn’t just about accomplishments but about the values we lived, the bonds we deepened, and the lessons we embraced.
“This isn’t just a workplace; it’s home.”
An employee shared a sentiment that resonated deeply with many: “This isn’t just a workplace; it’s home.” They spoke of the openness and warmth that defined their experience. “You don’t just clock in and out here. You grow, you learn, and you connect with people who genuinely care about you.”
For many, transparency and empathy stood out as defining traits of ITBD’s culture. “You feel safe to share ideas and voice opinions because you know everyone values openness,” said another. “The solutions we come up with are better because we’re encouraged to be honest and collaborative.”
Opportunities for Growth and Meaningful Connections
One team member shared their gratitude for the open opportunities ITBD provides. “You’re not boxed in here. You can explore, evolve, and truly find where you shine,” they said.
Another emphasized the importance of building genuine relationships. “It’s not just about getting through the day; it’s about connecting with your mentors, peers, and colleagues,” he said. “They’re the ones who support you through challenges and celebrate your wins. There’s a saying I love: ‘Confidence is built not in isolation but through the relationships you nurture.’”
Standing Strong and Speaking Up
Throughout 2024, many employees shared how ITBD empowered them to stand firm in their beliefs. “I’ve learned that kindness and strength aren’t mutually exclusive,” said another employee. “There’s a saying: ‘Don’t take my kindness as weakness.’ ITBD teaches us to lead with empathy while having the courage to stand up for our values and protect what matters.”
Another added, “Speaking straight and standing up for yourself is celebrated here. It’s not just about doing what’s easy; it’s about doing what’s right. That mindset has made me more confident, not just professionally, but personally.”
Living Our Values: Open, Warm, Empathetic
2024 was the year that reinforced the importance of living our values every day. Whether it was fostering open communication, creating warm and welcoming spaces, or approaching challenges with empathy, ITBD’s culture remained unwavering.
“Even in moments of uncertainty, there’s transparency,” shared one employee. “Leadership never shies away from tough conversations, and that makes all the difference. You trust the people you work with because they trust you too.”
A Culture That Transforms
As we reflect on 2024, it’s evident that ITBD is more than just a company—it’s a space where people transform. 2024 wasn’t just about work; it was about building relationships, embracing courage, and learning how to stand tall while staying true to who we are.
One employee captured it beautifully: “In 2024, I didn’t just grow as a professional—I grew as a person. ITBD has a way of bringing out the best in you, even when you don’t see it yourself.”
The Journey Ahead
As we move forward into 2025, we carry the lessons, the values, and the connections of 2024 with us. IT By Design is, and always will be, about the people who make it extraordinary.
To every team member who shared their story in 2024: a big thank you. You are the reason ITBD isn’t just a workplace but a home. Together, we’ve built something remarkable, and the best is yet to come.
