Philips recognized for diversity 

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Royal Philips has again been included on the list of America’s Best Employers for Diversity by Forbes. The inclusion of Philips is a testament to the company’s commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture where employees feel valued, safe and supported to be their best, it said in a press release. “We aim to be the best place to work for all our employees, embracing diversity and inclusion and health and well-being,” said Lauren Gohde, Philips North America Inclusion & Diversity Lead. “This recognition is the result of collaboration and commitment at all levels from across the entire organization. Our CEO and leadership team walk the talk, creating tangible action plans to provide support and increase representation for our under-represented employees. Our commitment to ensuring a culture of belonging for all has never been stronger.” Philips ranked 195 on the list and is in the top five in the “Health Care Equipment and Services” category. To create the list, 60,000 U.S. employees were surveyed in companies with a minimum of 1,000 employees to identify the Best Employers for Diversity. Surveyed companies were evaluated through anonymous feedback from employees on criteria including age, gender, ethnicity, disability, and sexual orientation equality, as well as general diversity in their workplace. Respondents were also asked to nominate organizations other than their own in their respective industries. Previously, in January, Philips earned a perfect score of 100 and the designation as one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a benchmarking survey and report that measures corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality.
