TC Acoustic has been certified Great Place to Work 4 years in a row!
It’s one thing to be proud of your company.
It’s a whole other thing to be surrounded by colleagues who feel the same way.
From TC Acoustic’s Great Place To Work™ Report 2021
Being a Great Place to Work - Certified™ pulls back the curtain on what has always been at the core of our company - People.
What is Great Place To Work™?
The GPTW Institute recognises “Great Workplaces” where:
Employees trust the people they work for;
Have pride in what they do and;
Enjoy the people they work with.
This certification is based on an anonymous employee survey that captures their experience of workplace culture. Companies that meet a certain benchmark then get certified.
So, how do our employees feel about our company?
From TC Acoustic’s Great Place To Work™ Report 2024
We are involved in decision-making processes and have an elevated level of responsibility for the company thanks to our flat organisational structure.
At 18 years old, I was entrusted with the role of a Part-Time Channel Manager. This entailed working with experienced retail store staff 2 -3 times my age to progress the store. Despite having no prior experience, our Sales Directors held weekly training sessions to equip me. My ideas would be heard, refined and implemented. I grew in my communication skills and confidence. Eventually, I was even given the opportunity to be a Media Event Spokesperson, alongside my CEO, in Hong Kong and Malaysia. I am thankful to work at a company where I am empowered and valued.

We embrace fresh ideas and celebrate not just successes but also progress here at TC. On a biweekly basis, we meet to share good news from different departments to encourage and inspire each other.
TC’s Biweekly Good News Meeting
During a quarterly evaluation, I expressed my interest in business development. Our CEO arranged a meeting to discuss how to make this a reality, as I was in a totally unrelated role. Shortly after, the company created a new position for me that meets both the business needs and my personal goals. I’m grateful to work in a company where leadership genuinely prioritizes our aspirations and growth.
- Sasha Soh, Business Development Executive
Building a great team takes hands-on action. After an internal quarterly staff survey, the results would be looked through one-by-one and should anything float up, meetings to provide the employee a safe space to share more would be set up.
The part-time job I never resigned from. I began my TC journey as a brand ambassador while still a student. My managers trained me in sales and channel management and taught me values that built my character. As I grew, I was entrusted with more responsibilities, leading to an opportunity to relocate to Hong Kong and spearhead a brand expansion. Now, at 31, I’m the youngest Assistant Director, managing our Hong Kong office and overseeing brand and marketing efforts across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong.
- Fanny Ko, Brands and Marketing Assistant Director
At TC, we help our staff develop not just work-related skills, but also in their character. We are even empowered to give both time and money to the causes we believe in. (We have an additional 7 days annual leave to do so!)
In my experience as a Commercial Lead and Head of Operations in leading MNCs, I have encountered various company cultures, but none quite match TC's. The leadership here exemplifies excellence and genuine care for customers and employees alike. I thank God to be part of such a remarkable organization.
- Gerry Vistal, Commercial Lead
From TC Acoustic’s Great Place To Work Report 2021
Our TC brand of Serving Happiness is only possible because each of our employees are cared for like family. Only then can we care for our customers likewise.
What company pays freelancers and former employees when they can’t work? Our owners launched the #TCcares initiative, providing financial help to nearly 70 freelance promoters and former employees during the pandemic. With stores shuttered, these promoters and their families faced financial difficulties overnight. TC paid up to 100% of their monthly salary, tailored to their individual situation. In every circumstance, TC prioritizes people over profit and relationships over revenue.
- Tan Jian Ming, Head of Culture
At TC Acoustic, we aim to be Everyone’s Favourite Company. But more importantly, our Team’s Favourite Company.”
