SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland,
July 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TE
Connectivity, a world leader in connectivity and sensors, has been
named among the 2020 Best Workplaces for Innovators by Fast
Company.
The annual honor, developed in collaboration with Accenture,
recognizes 100 companies that have built a culture that empowers
employees at all levels to create new products, improve operations
and take risks. This year's winners represent a wide variety of
industries, including computer science, biotech, consumer packaged
goods, nonprofit, education, financial services, cybersecurity and
engineering
"Our customers count on TE to innovate solutions to their
toughest engineering challenges, whether it's advancing electric
vehicle technology, enabling data to travel at faster speeds or
saving lives with enhanced medical devices," said CEO Terrence Curtin. "In order to be successful, we
need to attract top talent to our teams, and we need to create an
environment that makes our people want to stay. That's why it's so
important to encourage new ideas that support TE's purpose of
creating a safer, sustainable, productive and connected future, no
matter their source. We are honored that our workplace culture has
been recognized by Fast Company alongside many of the world's most
innovative companies."
TE was honored for the broad range of ways the company
encourages innovation, including an incubator launched in 2017
called TE Time. Through this program, participants are encouraged
to work creatively on new ideas that lie outside the scope of their
daily work. Though it is a young program, TE Time has already
resulted in at least seven patent filings. Additionally, TE's most
successful innovators are invited to the company's annual global
technical conference, TechCon, which celebrates the people who have
developed products that have, or are expected to, financially and
strategically contribute to the future of TE and the industry at
large.
