With boundless energy and a desk crafted from a door and four Ikea legs, TMA came into existence in 1999. None of us could have foreseen that so many individuals and organizations would wholeheartedly embrace the TMA philosophy.

Now, more than 20 years later, much has indeed changed. However, what remains unchanged is the conviction that people thrive when they engage in work that aligns with their true selves. Work that fully utilizes their natural talents. This approach results in happy, engaged individuals who willingly contribute to the success of the company or organization they serve.

We firmly believe that people thrive when they engage in work that aligns with their true selves. Work that fully utilizes their natural talents. This approach results in happy, engaged individuals who willingly contribute to the success of the company or organization they serve.

Our story in the media

TMA takes immense pride in its impact on people and their development. And perhaps, we should express this more often. Through our campaign “Alles gaat beter” (Everything gets better), we showcase our core values. If you’d like to understand just how crucial people are to us, I invite you to watch our film!

TMA: Positive, Connecting and Talent-focused

We firmly believe that people thrive, become more engaged, and experience greater happiness when guided by these three core values. These values not only define our company but are also deeply ingrained in our philosophy and products. We don’t merely see ourselves as product suppliers; rather, we consider ourselves true partners in the realms of personal development, team growth, leadership enhancement, and organizational progress.
