Mahesh Gawade - Service Engineer at Mumbai, Speaks about his First day at Phillips .....

It was my joining day on 12/11/2011.I prayed to god before starting my journey at Kharghar office. But several questions were rolling in my mind. How will be my new job? How will be the peoples behaviour towards me? How will they treat me? And so on.

I reached Kharghar office at around 10.00 am. To my surprise everybody welcomed me with smiling face. They welcomed me by doing Aarti and Tilak. This was a great surprise for me. I had never seen this type of welcome ceremony in my past. I was very happy for this type of cultural welcome.

After that Miss. Naina introduced me to all the other partners and thereafter the induction & Orientation was given, which also was too informative and interactive. It was first time in my entire career where I never felt as if it was my first day because the behaviour of all the partners was so cooperative that made me feel that they all already know me. I mixed with them as sugar mixes with milk.

Up to evening burden of several questions, which were rolling in my mind, disappeared and I was feeling very relaxed and great to be with such people around me... I really want to Thank to  all my partners & Phillips Corporation for giving me such warm welcome and making me feel really Special... !!! Thanks Once Again !!!

 

Nikhil Modi's - Event Coordinator shares his Experience on his First Day at Phillips and also on the Welcome Ceremony

It’s my pleasure to share my views through blogging and specially for such a beautiful moment, I definitely owe it. It was 8:30am and I was bustling to reach office on time, as it was no ordinary day for me, it was my First day in office.

With all celerity I was able to reach office well on time, and was excited to see Jyoti Ma’am and Tulsi standing with a “Plate of Aarti” and flowers. At that very moment, I realized that all statements written in “Community Performance Standard” and dialogues that I had with Alan Sir weren’t just statements but they were facts and I was very excited. 

To experience the next level of it. Soon I realized all partners were already assembled near the entrance area and Jyoti Ma’am was offering Aarti & Flowers to me which felt so great that it cannot be described in mere words. It was kind of a very unexpected moment for me, as what I knew was Phillips Corporation as a foreign company and had never expected such a culturist welcome. 

Further, after the Pooja Ceremony, Jyoti Ma’am introduced me to each and every partner assembled there. That moment was also unique as I felt a very positive welcome vibe from each one of them. It was proceeded with induction and orientation which was given by Jyoti Ma’am and later in detail by Samina Ma’am. After the welcome ceremony, getting to know such great history and functioning of our company all across the globe with such great culture values, I felt very fortunate of being a part of it. 

As the Phillips Community Standard says, our partners are always to the path of VIRTUOSITY, I feel lucky of getting chance to share the same path. 

Thanks Once Again.....

Paul Krause speaks about joining Phillips

 

My first experience as a new Partner of the Phillips Community was both exhilarating and welcoming. As I walked toward the entrance of Phillips Corporation headquarters in Hanover, MD I noticed a gathering of people just inside the lobby. Admittedly, I was a little confused. What began as confusion, walking toward the entrance from the parking lot, turned to humility as I realized, once inside, that the individuals gathered are my new Phillips Partners greeting me on my first day of my new career at Phillips Corporation Federal Division.

I was introduced to the group by Amy Yasneski and soon after each Partner greeted me, introduced themselves, and shook my hand. What a welcome! What a range of emotions! Whatever nervousness that I felt was soon lifted as it was apparent that each Partner was sincere in their welcome greeting. I am constantly reminded of this camaraderie as I interact with Phillips Partners each day.

My First Day at Phillips: Joe Sommers, applications engineer shares his take on the welcome ceremony

The new partner welcome ceremony is very different than what you would expect as a welcome for your first day at a new company. While you would most likely be welcomed by some of your coworkers as you get a chance to meet them at another company the welcome ceremony at Phillips brings your new coworkers together to give you a warm welcome as soon as you get there. This gives you a glimpse of what to expect from the Phillips culture and also lets you know what the goal of Phillips is for each partner, to become a BRAND AMBASSADOR.
