The effort invested by Toyota to maintain employee performance and well-being during the exceptional working conditions caused by the Covid pandemic was appreciated by staff members, expressed in (anonymous) responses to the Best Companies survey:
“TGB puts people first.”
“TGB puts people first. The response to the pandemic has made a world of difference. I have seen how other companies have responded, and the care, humanity and thoughtfulness that TGB has shown is second to none. I am incredibly thankful to work for such a genuinely supportive organisation.”
“The support throughout the pandemic has been first class. I’m not aware of any other company who have supported their employees as well as TGB have…they have gone over and above. It’s made me even prouder (if that was even possible) of working for TGB. If I had to choose one word to describe TGB, it would be ‘kind’. My manager is just awesome to work with, full of drive and passion and supportive.”
Agustin Martin, President & Managing Director, Toyota (GB), commented: “Having joined TGB during the pandemic in 2020, it quickly became clear to me how special this company is in the way that it supports and values its people. I am delighted that our people are also feeling the positive impact, and can really be their best; we know that this will help us continue to become an innovative, forward thinking organisation, achieve our strategic and transformational goals, and be a true employer of choice for the best talent in the market.”
