dynamic work

This April, Okta celebrated Earth Week across our global offices. Consistent with our Dynamic Work strategy, we aimed for a celebration inclusive of employees in each office and remote workplace, every language and region. We included three key elements to our Earth Week: daily employee calls to action, in-person events, and virtual key notes. …

As the pandemic turns a new corner and many companies share their “return to office” plans, employees are looking for guidance as they navigate this new world. Unlike many other companies, Okta’s “return to office” plans don’t revolve around our physical locations. While our offices around the world are removing capacity limits and welcoming…

Climate change is a pressing global issue that is severely impacting people, the planet, and businesses. We can already see these impacts with increasing droughts, wildfires, extreme heat, and flooding affecting peoples’ well-being, and business operations. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report in…

Here at Okta, we share that sense as we look back at the headlines that have shaped the past 12 months—events that are now shaping how we orient ourselves towards the future.  But we also have the good fortune of thinking about the past year with a sense of pride and…

From day one, Okta has been committed to building a culture of inclusion and belonging. We know that fostering a diverse workforce, customer base, and partner network is not only the right thing to do, but also the only way we will succeed.

It goes without saying that the COVID-19 pandemic has made this a chaotic and challenging year for businesses. But it’s also increased user demand for digital adaptations and brought the value of accelerated IT practices right to the fore.  Global executives and IT leaders are now seeing that a distributed—or dynamic—workforce can be a more…

No, we don’t have a crystal ball. And in such cases, in lieu of making predictions, it’s smarter to start asking questions.
