We partnered with VICE to share four unique stories and perspectives on how diversity and inclusion lead to successful teamwork.

"When everybody on the team feels safe and comfortable speaking their minds and sharing ideas, they're also open to looking outside their own viewpoints and creating better solutions. It sets

Make life better
At Philips we’re always looking for ways to make life better – not only for our customers, but also for everyone working here. So we embrace everything that makes you unique. Here, you’ll be valued in all aspects of diversity, whether it’s race, ethnicity or age, or gender or sexual orientation, or any other aspect that makes you ‘you.’ We recognize the proven benefits of enhanced innovation, greater performance and employee satisfaction that derive from a diverse and inclusive workplace. Leveraging our differences makes us more creative, innovative and effective. That’s how we can best anticipate the needs of our customers, now and in the future – by representing them, in all their diversity, in our own teams. We will need to champion a new way of working, use a different lens and shift our mindsets to build and foster that inclusive culture.
