 Diverse, multi-disciplinary, international teams
Our vision is of one company made up of many different faces. A working environment led by people who understand that diversity and inclusiveness provide a competitive advantage. ‘Depend on each other’ is an important value that explains how we work together. You will find this in our daily work, for example in being part of an international project team, working in functional groups etc. Some critical development projects may even run around the clock, when the R&D team in India closes down, they hand over the work in progress to their European colleagues, and they finally hand over to a team in the USA. The throughput times of development project has been reduced drastically with these ways of working.
It’s not rocket science: by attracting a more diverse range of people to work with us, and by creating an inclusive workplace environment in which people are valued for who they are (not what they are), we will get closer to our consumers and make better decisions. We are convinced that by blending diverse perspectives we can create additional value based on true synergies: 1+1=3.
Philips is a Global Company and English is the company language. In many cases, you will work across borders with international colleagues or in an international team. You will learn to be exposed to, to understand and to leverage differences: in cultures, skills, knowledge and background.
To bring our people together and enhance a sense of cohesion, we support regular teamwork activities including networking events, sport activities and increasingly with social responsibility projects.
