MANAGEMENT BOARD REPORT
TOMTOM / ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 / 35
HUMAN RESOURCES
The true value of our business lies in our people. We need to attract the best people, invest in their
development and give them the opportunity to grow and achieve more every day. Entrepreneurialism is valued
in our company and we believe that organisational flexibility will allow for people to make their own choices
and thrive.
TomTom attracts agile and adaptable people, capable of
effectively dealing with and responding rapidly to changing
circumstances. Having the best people enables us to deliver the
greatest and most innovative products and services to our
customers.
OUR AMBITION IS TO BE
the employer of choice in technology
To deliver on this ambition, HR has positioned itself as a strategic
partner to work with the organisation to deliver against our
business objectives for growth. This position allows us to better
prepare for the changing landscape of the future of work as well
as the changing needs of our business.
FROM SERVICE PROVIDER TO
STRATEGIC PARTNER
Our HR strategy focuses on three key areas that help set the
foundation to better shape our workforce needs. These areas are:
People, Management Capabilities and Employer Brand. Each of
these areas is important to growth. We have made significant
investments in understanding exactly what our employees need
and want so that we can offer customised experiences, in having
the right managers in place to manage our increasingly agile and
talented workforce and in ensuring that we have the right
employer brand strategy in place to attract and retain the talent
we need to further grow.
PEOPLE ARE OUR GREATEST
ASSET
At TomTom, our people are our greatest asset and we employ the
best people. Our employees have unique skill sets that are in
high demand by other companies in different industries.
Our strategy to attract, develop, and retain the right people is
about creating the conditions for our employees to achieve more,
faster, than at any other company. We do this through a
segmented and targeted approach, creating an employee
experience that is customised to the needs of our employees with
respect to their compensation and benefits, learning,
communication, level of empowerment, and even the
management style.
We aim to be the most attractive employer for our employees,
standing out from competition, with an understanding of what
drives them to be their best and enable them to achieve more
than they could anywhere else.
