Our Approach

• 

  

  Our people are at the heart of making TD The Better Bank. That’s why becoming an extraordinary place to work continued to be a high priority in 2010. TD employees define an “extraordinary workplace” as a place where all employees have opportunities to grow personally and professionally and where their views are heard and respected.

  In 2010, we revised our corporate mission to include the words “unique and inclusive employee culture” to underscore how important our employees are and to ensure that we create an environment where every employee can grow and contribute in a way that best supports them and our business.
