Individual productivity -key for Toyota

For Toyota, less is more with office space slashed in key cities

Delhi, Mumbai and Kokata will now see smaller set-ups as work-from-home becomes new normal .Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) will downsize corporate/regional office space in Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi as part of a drive to optimise employee productivity.

This has become especially important in the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, said Naveen Soni, Senior VP, Sales & Service, TKM. The company has already shut down its corporate office in the Bengaluru headquarters and shifted operations to Bidadi plant, nearly 50 kilometres away.

According to Soni, there was really little point in having such large office capacity and this fact was accentuated during Covid-19, where work-from-home has become the new normal. Eventually, as he put it, the key is individual productivity, which has been consistently high across the TKM ecosystem during the lockdown.
