Philips Featured on Forbes List of America’s Best Employers by State

Philips employees identify the company as a top employer in five states across the country

Cambridge, Mass. – Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced that the company earned several spots on the Forbes list of America’s Best Employers by State. This is the list’s second annual iteration, which features the organizations across the country that are best liked by employees. Philips has been ranked as a top employer in five states this year, including Connecticut, Washington, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and California.

Created by Forbes in collaboration with market research company Statista, the list is divided into 51 rankings, one for each of the 50 states plus Washington D.C. It was compiled based on survey data from 80,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 500 employees. The surveys were conducted on a rolling basis from October 2019 to May 2020, with responses being compared throughout the process to account for any statistically significant variations in the results collected before and after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.

It is with our incredible employees that we strive to deliver on our mission to improve the lives of three billion people a year by 2030,” said Cynthia Burkhardt, global head of talent acquisition for Philips North America.
