Philips development engineer -- smooth recruit, smooth recruitment
Alice Verdonk is a recent success story in Philips Consumer Lifestyle’s drive to recruit top-class development engineers for its Innovation Domestic Appliances center in Drachten, The Netherlands. She also brings something else rather special – a little gender balance to a profession largely dominated by males. Read the interview with Alice Verdonk.
Going green, staying green
Philips has an ambitious program to meet its environmental impact and sustainability targets. It’s called the EcoVision4 initiative. An important part of that initiative is the promotion of green products and innovations, but there’s one other aspect that Philips believes is equally important – actively engaging its employees in green initiatives, both inside and outside the company.

Proof-of-concept takes the prize
The Philips Innovation Award recognizes the type of creativity and ingenuity that Philips is looking for in development engineers. The initiative, organized by the Rotterdam-based student fraternity (‘Rotterdamsch Studenten Corps’), together with the Universities of Eindhoven, Rotterdam, Tilburg and Delft, ran for the fourth consequetive year. It’s aim: to stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship amongst talented students in Business and Technology.
Touch Opportunity takes a look at this year’s winners.
