This online article on Corporate policy in TOMS’ portrayed how that company focuses on its employees’ quality of life. Employees of TOMS’ have numerous work benefits such as flexible work schedules, no-meeting Mondays, 8 weeks of paid maternity leave and so on. The founder of TOMS’, Blake Mycoskie, added a number of programs and one of them is called “Happy Helping Hour which a number of charitable organizations collaborated with the employees of TOMS’ in helping for women in domestic abuse shelters. Another intriguing program by TOMS’ is called “Tomorrows project” where the employee who wins in giving the most charitable ideas what inspire him or her. From the article, I learned that the main focus of TOMS’ is social mission rather than making profits in the fashion business. Many for-profit companies like TOMS’ have philanthropic endeavors as a part of their mission. I found out that communities can depend on TOMS’ to help with social programs that make the lives of people in the community as well as its employees better. Businesses that strengthen their communities, as proponents of corporate social responsibilities argue, will grow stronger as their communities improve and TOMS’ is making it done.
