We have short and long term incentive plans that we are proud of. Through this, employees can receive commissions and secure phantom share rights through a co-investment scheme

Staff have access to Tongston’s products and services such as branding and marketing through Tongston Media; resources and courses through Tongston Institute and others. Staff are provided with discounts to provide their network. We will consider investing in your business through Tongston Ventures should it meet Tongston’s investment policy and go through our internal approval processes.

We are creating a revolution therefore expect to be challenged. Expect to learn, unlearn and re-learn. Expect to be pushed. We work with people with the right attitude for excellence in keeping with our core values - personal, socio-cultural, economic and sustainable development. We know that with the right attitude you can work continuously on your skills and knowledge.

We promote high performers creating value for the Organization, employees and themselves through our marketing materials, encouraging team members to interface with the outside world. We work with staff to undergo a transformative personal branding session to enhance their personal brand and image. Tongston is a reflection of its employees! So, it is important we focus on employees!

Tongston Entrepreneurial Academy provides an opportunity for staff to continually learn and share. All new staff must go through as part of onboarding sessions including personal funding and finance, personal branding, sales and communication. Other sessions cover enterprise research and development, digital marketing, contracting and documentation and financial analysis. The Academy hosts sessions from third party partners and organizations such as Bright Network Academy, PURD Consulting, Coursera, Future Learn etc.

To innovate, we must encourage open conversations, hiring diverse talent, and continually learning for each other. We dedicate Friday’s every week to Tongston Entrepreneurial Lab (T-Lab) to enhance our intrapreneurial and entrepreneurial ideas. So far, we have had product and services, team hangouts, staff masters thesis, recruitment process, staff catering and education consultancy businesses all presented and reviewed at T-Lab.

We do not believe our team needs to sit in an office or be full time employees to deliver value. In fact, we want to learn from you - This is why we hire talent in a consultancy capacity so we can leverage on your continuous industry insights ; we encourage our staff to grow their own enterprises and/or volunteering engagements. We have a generous leave policy that accommodates fathers for paternity, sabbatical, study leave, casual and exam leave. You have 25 days of holiday a year (excl. Public and Bank Holidays, which you’re free to take whenever you want)

We believe the best form of learning is immersive! So we encourage staff to rotate across departments and group of companies. Tongston has a robust secondment policy which means you can hold multiple roles in Tongston across its group of companies! We have had staff hold roles for instance Tongston Holdings in the Business Development, Stakeholder Management and Strategy and Tongston Institute in the Curriculum Development, Resource Development & Training Faculty; or an administration team member also in the research and economics team.

Staff can apply for an in-house Tongston entrepreneurial mentoring scheme. All new staff and interns are automatically assigned a buddy to support onboarding. Staff can also choose to apply to the Tongston Entrepreneurial mentoring program as mentees or mentors.
