TOA SE Sees Dramatic Rise in Employee Happiness
From leadership to the shop floor, every team member plays a role in maintaining a safe and supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
TOA SE (Systems Engineering), a leader in industrial controls and automation systems, has long been known for its engineering excellence and customer-first approach. Serving both new and existing production processes in manufacturing, TOA SE stands out not just for its technical expertise, but for the people and principles that power its work.
With a clear mission to be the integrator of choice in its region, TOA SE delivers automation solutions that prioritize safety, quality, and sustainability. Their approach is defined by relentless determination, environmental and fiscal responsibility, and a commitment to improving customer manufacturing capabilities through innovation and flexibility.
That same commitment extends inward, to their own people.
A New Standard for Employee Happiness
In 2025, TOA SE conducted their second Employee Happiness® Conversation, an anonymous workplace survey using patent-pending feeling verification technology to measure how employees truly feel about their work environment.
TOA SE’s motto, “quick and flexible,” not only reflects their approach to engineering solutions but also mirrors how Amazing Workplace delivers its tools and insights: efficiently, responsively, and tailored to meet the needs of dynamic organizations.
The results showed a remarkable shift: 74% reported that they often feel happy at work—more than double the percentage from just one year earlier in 2024. Participation for both 2024 and 2025 was over 80%, ensuring a strong representation of employee sentiment. In addition to now being a Certified Amazing Workplace, this year’s results have earned TOA SE the Workplace Happiness Award. The Workplace Happiness Award recognizes workplaces who have independently verified that 70% or more of their employees often feel happy at work.
This dramatic increase in employee happiness affirms the powerful impact of listening to employees, understanding their needs, and taking meaningful action. It shows that when leadership makes employee happiness a true priority, transformation follows.
Powered by People
At the heart of TOA SE’s success is its people. Employees consistently report that they enjoy the work they do, value their relationships with coworkers, and feel they can be themselves at work—a powerful combination that fosters both happiness and performance. Equally important is a shared commitment to safety, which remains a core pillar of TOA SE’s culture. From leadership to the shop floor, every team member plays a role in maintaining a safe and supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
Partnering with Amazing Workplace has helped boost employee morale and happiness at our company. Most importantly, it’s shown our team that we truly care, are committed to making improvements, and that their voices matter. With their confidential platform, data insights, and consulting, we’re able to listen more effectively and take meaningful steps toward building a stronger, happier workplace.

This year’s significant jump in employee happiness was no accident. It’s the result of real, strategic changes made in response to employee feedback. As TOA SE looks to the future, their mission remains clear: to deliver cutting-edge automation solutions while nurturing a workplace where people thrive.
