Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

To be a truly successful and sustainable global company, we must treat each other with dignity, respect and fairness. As our company grows, our commitment to empowering people and fostering diversity, equity and inclusion remains steadfast. That starts with ensuring our employees feel a genuine sense of belonging and remain healthy and safe every day, no matter where they perform their work.

Employee Resource Groups

We are a collective of women, those who identify as women, and allies from all businesses and locations of The Toro Company (TTC). Our goal is to form a community where we create and promote a supportive and productive environment for women across all businesses and functions.

Our Focus:

Support Current Employees

  • Enhance skills, knowledge and confidence and provide mentorship to further careers
  • Share experiences, facilitate discussions to address areas of concern in the workplace and support each other
  • Remove stereotypes/unconscious bias, provide information and education

Recruitment & Reputation

  • Stimulate and encourage recruitment and promotion of women in TTC leadership roles
  • Build reputation as a gender equal and ultimately gender-balanced employer in our industries and local communities

Our Communities

  • Improve the standing of groups of women in the communities that matter to us through networking, making connections and supporting women as they work to advance their livelihood

LEAP is dedicated to the personal and professional growth of early-in-career employees and their advocates seeking leadership and mentorship opportunities.

Our Focus:

Establishing a community of early-in-career TTC employees and advocates with the goal to grow and develop employees across all functions in the organization to:

  • Offer mentorship opportunities to build relationships and leadership skills along with early-in-career guidance
  • Provide professional development opportunities to better understand and incorporate strengths, feedback, and crucial conversations
  • Encourage personal growth through opportunities to improve soft-skills, work-life balance, and personal discovery

Connect personal development with TTC goals by:

  • Building and promoting a broader understanding of TTC’s mission & values
  • Encourage career exploration and exposure
