Diversity is a strength that drives more possibilities
At Philips, we recognize that the best and most innovative solutions are created when people who think differently from each other collaborate. When they're open to new ideas and perspectives. Diversity gives us the power to create more opportunities. A diverse, inclusive and healthy workplace energizes and drives better business outcomes. People who feel respected and heard bring their best qualities to work, which leads to better collaboration, communication, innovation and success. This mindset drives our commitment to an inclusive culture where every employee feels part of the team and enables a diverse workplace to thrive.
When you're at your best, we're at ours
Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are employee-led groups run by volunteers. These communities play a crucial role in helping Philips foster an inclusive workplace. ERGs provide a safe space for employees to make meaningful connections, develop career opportunities, expand skills, and support key business initiatives. While strengthening relationships within the Philips community, ERGs promote a sense of belonging and encourage dialogue, providing new ways to look at issues and drive innovation. More than 5,000 employees are involved with the ten ERGs in North America. Maybe one (or more) is a place for you? Check out the various ERGs below. Allies are also welcome!
