We Value All Voices

TOMY International's mission is to make the world smile. We value and celebrate the unique abilities and talents that each individual brings to our organization and believe that having a workforce that reflects the diversity of our consumers positions us towards success. By providing a supportive and equitable environment for all employees, we are realizing this mission for both our employees and the world they live in.

Our Goals and Objectives

DEI is an ongoing journey, and with every step we are focused on three key areas: putting DEI at the center of our organization, embedding DEI throughout the employee experience, and sharing our commitment to DEI with both our consumers and stakeholders.

Philanthropy & Community

TOMY Community Logo

TOMY employees are passionate about bringing smiles to peoples’ faces, both through our products and through philanthropy. TOMY Community is an employee driven effort that supports various charitable organizations. These can be national in scope, but there is a focus on those that are local to each of our different offices. This allows us to engage in volunteerism in our own communities while also establishing stronger cross-team bonds. Getting to personally see the smiles we are helping create is just icing on the cake.

WIT Logo

TOMY is a proud sponsor of WiT and provides complementary membership to our employees. WiT is a diverse global community working together to champion and advocate for the advancement of women through leadership, opportunity and education, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, age, physical or mental abilities. WiT members open doors for one another, share knowledge and experience, and are impacting change throughout our industries

Team Jack Foundation Logo

Fat Brain Toys supports the Team Jack Foundation through both monetary donations and employee volunteer opportunities. Team Jack brings hope to families fighting childhood brain cancer, with a mission to fund impactful research and raise awareness of the disease. The Fat Brain mission to provide "A Smarter Way to Play" seeks to strengthen children, and any disease that compromises a child's ability to grow, learn, and live impacts us deeply. Partnering with Team Jack is a natural fit.

Our Commitment to our People

In addition to great benefits you’d expect from any company, at TOMY, we believe it is also important for an organization to lead their employees towards a better future for all.
