We are #BetterTogether. Through our people and brands, we succeed as a team. No matter how capable the technology we build is, the power of our colleagues is the most powerful thing we have. We are doing everything to make TBA the happiest place for our colleagues to work. Make sure to read more about our values here, our sustainability efforts here and great stories here.

At TBAuctions, our workplace culture is vibrant and inclusive, centered around our core values and a spirit of celebration. We believe in recognizing and honoring important internal and external moments, from International Women’s Day to Earth Day and beyond. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is evident in our observance of events like Black History Month and Pride Month, where we come together to celebrate and amplify underrepresented voices.

We have monthly social gatherings and collective participation in events like the STEPtember challenge, padel tournaments, and the Dam tot Damloop. These activities not only promote physical wellness but also strengthen our bonds as a team.

Our dedication to transparency and communication is evident through initiatives like the TBAuctions Insider, a digital monthly magazine that keeps our team informed and engaged with updates on business, sustainability, and more. We also prioritize open dialogue through anonymous Q&A platforms, ensuring everyone has a voice.

In our hybrid work environment, but we like to work from the office as we blend digital collaboration with in-person connections, creating a flexible and dynamic atmosphere that empowers each team member to thrive.

Above all, we uphold our values of integrity, humility, and teamwork, striving to make a positive impact on our planet and build a business that endures. Together, we celebrate successes and embrace the joy of working together toward a common goal.

As TBA scales, culture is critical to act as one group. We will build a long-term people vision, a shared purpose, and common references for our diverse community of colleagues. To power our business model, we recognize that we need to build a high-performance culture, a digitally savvy workforce, learning agility, and strong teamwork. People drive our growth and therefore a top priority is to facilitate an environment of ownership and empowerment to enable them to contribute their best. Our people and culture strategy integrates our values, and is anchored on six key principles.

• Transparency: We will keep our team members informed about changes, challenges, and new ventures. We will explain what is behind the decision making that goes into them. The more everyone knows about “the big picture” and can tell the story, the more context they can put into their own responsibilities. This is our guiding principle and operating bias, whilst recognizing there will be times where necessary confidentiality will dictate the degree of transparency. 

• Accountability, Recognition, and Rewards: We are one team and cannot rely on the outstanding results of a few top contributors. We all chip in, and we will hold everyone accountable to delivering their goals. We will back this up by providing clear expectations and necessary tools to set individuals up for success. We celebrate successes and recognize exceptional performance or attitude. TBA also commits to rewards plans that are based on individual, team, and company performance. 

• Diversity and Inclusion: We recognize that diversity embraces many things including: culture, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, sexual identification, ethnicity, native language, religion, and thought. TBA knows that everyone can contribute to our success and that for each person to do their best they must feel safe, included, and valued. 

• Talent Acquisition and Career Development: From the start of recruitment through their career, our team members will be provided with ample opportunity and support to thrive. TBA’s values are foundational in all aspects of this journey and form an integral part of our onboarding, learning, and development programs. 

• Leadership: At TBA, our leaders are doers, and they should have strong judgment, good instincts, and be curious to develop themselves. Our leaders should build our teams and are responsible for finding, measuring, and growing good people. We will support them with a leadership profile that serves as input for hiring, measuring, and improving leadership behaviors. Leaders should lead from the front and help our teams look around corners, remove barriers, and to help simplify complex problems. 

• Health & Wellbeing: Recognizing the importance of sustainable employability and our people’s good health and happiness, at TBA we care about the wellbeing of our people and their overall mindfulness. We value and inspire work-life harmony and we will enable investments in personal health.
