Did you hear that the Dutch Parliament has approved remote working as a legal right, with the law now waiting for Senate approval? Only took them this long to catch up to us... 😉 Our flexible working policy, known as Working @ TomTom (W@TT), is all about giving TomTom’ers the freedom to work in the best way for them and their teams. That could be in the office, at home, or even abroad thanks to what we call ELF (Extended Location Flexibility).

Earth Day is integral to who we are, from our technology to our people 🌳. This was on full display throughout our TomTom Earth Week 🌎 What did we get up to? TomTom committed to planting one tree per TomTom’er – that’s 4,500 trees – in British Columbia (Canada) via our new collaboration with One Tree Planted. TomTom'ers and students from Codam College joined forces in volunteering at an organic farm in Amsterdam. We also hosted a panel discussion, “Partnerships for Green Change”, with our partners CARIAD, Global Compact Network Netherlands, PTV Group, and the City of Amsterdam, which looked at how sharing knowledge leads to cleaner cities 🏢.

Remember rushing to the office because your alarm didn’t go off? Ever had a team meeting interrupted by your kids fighting, or a neighbor drilling on a Monday for some strange reason? We’ve all been there and wished we could decide where to work... Well, good news – the solution is called Working at TomTom, or W@TT to keep it easy. And it gives you the freedom, with your manager and team, to decide where you work to create the best projects. What does this work flexibility mean for you? Let’s say you’re working on a project that involves a lot of people. With W@TT, you can come to the office to meet up, collaborate, brainstorm and solve problems together. Or you might need some time to focus. Then choose to stay at home or use one of our silent office areas. The point is, whether you need collaborative, quiet or social time, either face-to-face or online, everything is possible with W@TT.
Starting from March 8th on International Women's Day in 2020, TomTom kicked off a week of learning, bringing in key female speakers from across the business as well as acclaimed external presenters.
