How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.

• Housing compensation. Should you need to relocate near our office, a monthly allowance of €300 net is offered if the location is in the vicinity of Amsterdam, and €255 net for all other Philips locations. To be eligible, a rental contract is required, and your usual home-work travel distance needs to be more than 50 km or 1.5 hours of travel time for a one-way trip.
• Travel compensation, if you are not eligible for a free public transport card; you will receive a maximum of €192 net as a monthly allowance.
