We're at our best when you are you
We offer a variety of benefits and health programs to help keep you strong, mentally and physically. This helps you perform to the best of your ability at work, while also making you more able to manage the rest of your busy life.
When the global pandemic forced us to go remote, it gave us an opportunity to do what we do best: innovate by co-creating. We applied this to the way we work. At Philips, we now have three main role categories – on-site, mobile, and, hybrid, which replaces previously office-based roles. Hybrid working fuses flexibility with collaboration and helps our people meet the changing demands of work and home in the most balanced, productive, and healthy way. We’re embracing an approach where we spend more time together than apart. For our hybrid roles, this translates to an average of three days working from the office and two days from home for full-time employees*.
Our hybrid working model is defined in 3 ways:
Impactful collaboration: There's an energy when everyone’s in the same room that can heighten creative problem solving. That’s why we have physical hubs around the world where people can come together.
Embracing flexibility: Choosing where, when and how to work can vary according to task and team schedules. Flexibility isn’t office or online, it’s choosing the space that works best for you, your teams and our customers on a case-by-case basis.
Be at your best: The way we work and our workspaces are designed to support our well-being, offer career advancement opportunities, and enable us to be at our best. Our aim is for Philips to be the best place to work for people who share our passion.
*Hybrid role office-based working recommendations are subject to change in line with the latest relevant local COVID-19 government regulations and guidance.
