Toyota Motor Corporation is a worldwide company that specializes in automobiles, which are manufactured around the world. Toyota’s mission “has been to contribute to society by producing high quality products and services, while reducing the environmental impact of our operations (Investor Fact Sheet, 2013).” The North American Region will be the segment that is concentrated on in this individual learning project. Toyota Motor Corporation was first introduced to the United States in 1957. Within this same year on “August 25th, 1957, two Toyopet Crowns were imported to the United States” and on “October 31st, 1957, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. Inc is established (Timeline, 2013).” The North American region began manufacturing vehicles in 1986. Toyota developed this region because “Toyota is committed to building vehicles where they are sold (Investor Fact Sheet, 2013).” With that said, the North American region has shown tremendous growth with 14 manufacturing plants and over 20 million vehicles manufactured. The total sales of products for the North American region in 2010 were $190,507 million (Investor Fact Sheet, 2013). As a result of these achievements, the North American region has become one of the top sales by region following Japan.
As a human resource manager of the Toyota Corporation the added value that I would bring to the organization would be as an expert of human resource policies. Details such equal employment opportunity, workplace diversity, performance appraisals, recruiting, hiring and firing to mention a few of the proficiencies that I would bring to the table. Heads of firms often times hire other individuals to lead their HR department organization because they know that they need someone who is knowledgeable on all aspect of the HR department. I would do all within my power to achieve workforce
