At Toshiba, we view people as one of our most valuable assets, it's quite likely what makes them stay with us as long as they do.
Just like our sustainability journey, we think it's important to start from the inside out – employees first. Therefore, ensuring a safe and comfortable working environment for employees is paramount at Toshiba.
Like flexible work conditions, that promote a healthy work-life balance. It’s often the little things that make a big difference. Such as celebrating a birthday by having the day off. Or a smart workplace, with spacious well-ventilated open plan offices, ergonomic chairs in a comfortable temperature controlled environment designed to save power.

Our People and Culture committee (CUBE) actively communicates and engages with staff to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle. Corporate massages, flu vaccinations, gym facilities and lunchtime sporting competitions help improve employee physical well-being. As an initiative of the CUBE committee, fruit bowls are even provided to staff to encourage healthy eating.

Our overarching goal is for our staff and customers to work together to improve the economic, health and social opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their communities.
