In collaboration with Great Place To Work, which has 30 years of experience in developing workplaces, we have conducted regular employee surveys over the past year and worked purposefully to strengthen TONO's trust and culture. With good results.
TONO is now certified as a Great Place To Work.
Through Great Place To Work Trust Index companies can measure trust within the organization, compared to the experiences of millions of employees.
– Employee surveys and good advice from Great Place to Work provided a clear direction for what we needed to do to strengthen our culture. The entire organization has been involved in the work, and together we have managed to create the good culture that was just waiting to be cultivated. We are proud to have received Great Place to Work's stamp of approval that TONO is a truly good place to work, says Karl Vestli.
