10 years of commitment to commuters recognized
Over the past 10 years, Philips Medical Systems has offered excellent transportation amenities to its employees, including generous subsidies for transit, ferry commutes, carpooling, biking and walking. Philips’ Flexpass program includes regional transit options for comprehensive coverage and is 100% subsidized by the company. The consistent and steady efforts of this employer to provide transportation benefits have resulted in a program in which over 50% of the employees participate. ETC Bettina Thompson says, “Having a Flexpass program has indeed helped recruit and retain, due to our downtown location.”
