Equal Opportunity magazine readers recognize
Philips for its commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive
workforce
Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG) (AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health
technology, today announced that it ranked number 48 on Equal
Opportunity magazine’s 30th annual list of “Top 50 Employers.”
Inclusion on this list demonstrates the company’s belief that every
individual should have equal access to opportunity and resources,
and its commitment to seeking diverse experiences and perspectives
to achieve a workplace culture that fosters belonging.
Equal Opportunity magazine’s “Top 50 Employers” list is the
result of an annual reader survey mailed each year to randomly
selected readers. The ranking honors the top U.S. companies for
which Equal Opportunity magazine readers would most prefer to work
or believe would provide a positive working environment for members
of minority groups and diverse cultures. As a global organization,
Philips embraces diversity in the broadest sense and commits to
transparency, fairness and integrity. Philips’ ranking on this list
further highlights the company’s initiative to prioritize diverse
and inclusive work environments for its 82,000 employees in over
100 countries.
“We recognize that diverse workplaces lead to diversity in
thought, and it is this variety of perspectives that lead to
enhanced innovation, greater performance and employee
satisfaction,” said Lauren Gohde, Philips North America Inclusion
& Diversity Lead. “By fostering an inclusive working
environment, we bring together some of the brightest minds in the
world to address critical healthcare issues, partner with health
systems to overcome their biggest challenges, and find new ways to
bring access to care to those in underserved communities.
Recognition by Equal Opportunity Magazine validates our inclusive
approach as we continue to look for ways to promote equality in all
that we do.”
The company has a mission to improve the lives of 2.5 billion
people a year by 2030, including supporting the communities in
which employees live, work and serve. In January 2021, Philips was
named one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality by the
Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Annual Assessment of LGBTQ
Workplace Equality. The company was previously highlighted in
Forbes' Best Employers for Women and Forbes' America's Best
Employers for Diversity.
