Mazda Canada announced that it has been named one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers for the 10th consecutive year, likely thanks to the company’s strong set of core values — according to Mazda Canada President and CEO David Klan.
In a news release, Klan said the decade-long achievement is a reflection of the values that are central to the company’s identity. “Our team is the cornerstone of our business and we are very proud of the work environment we have co-created based on inclusivity, collaboration, and continuous development; a culture that listens is a culture that thrives.”
The OEM said it is committed to being viewed as a leader in diversity, equity and inclusion by their employees, retailers, owners, and communities. Krista Kelly-Gombocz, Director of People and Culture at Mazda Canada, said they want to lead with purpose.
“Our top priority is to ensure our employees feel respected, supported, and empowered. This commitment guides all our decisions and is solidified by our policies, practices, and the values we uphold every day,” she said. Kelly-Gombocz is also the executive sponsor of Mazda Canada’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee.
The company said they have a competitive health benefits package, including a $1,500 mental health practitioner benefit. They also have a defined benefit pension plan, progressive time-off policies, a tuition reimbursement program, a $500 wellness fund to support employee health and wellbeing, and — uniquely — a $10,000 Japan scholarship opportunity for children of Mazda in Canada employees, among other things.
