Respect for People Advisory Board
Toyota's Respect for People Advisory Board (RPAB) was established in 2002 as a way to seek objective perspectives from global leaders.
The RPAB helps advise, advocate, and hold Toyota accountable to its Respect for People strategies, contributing their outside perspectives and solutions to further strengthen Toyota’s commitment to Mobility for All.
Advocacy in Action
In 2021 strategic oversight led to concrete actions designed to help Toyota continuously improve inclusive practices and as a response to the Great Resignation. Broadly, these encompass improvements to the talent acquisition process and strategy, talent development initiatives and overhauled onboarding policy reviews. One example is in the recruiting process, where building on unconscious bias training, new sets of tools have been created to aid hiring managers as they eliminate bias in interviewing.
