We pride ourselves in being open and transparent about our workforce demographics, which range from our global footprint, management distribution, gender, age, US race and ethnicity, new hires and voluntary attrition.

On December 31, 2021, the total extended workforce was 36,223 team members. Of those, 29,861 are NXP employees, 1,487 joint venture (JV) and 4,875 contingent labor working across three regions and 30+ countries. Note: this is representative of total NXP headcount and not full-time equivalent (FTE) count, as disclosed in the NXP IFRS filing.

NXP Workforce Demographics

The NXP workforce includes direct labor (DL) team members, who are directly involved in the production of goods and typically work in our fabs and indirect labor (IDL) team members, who are professional team members at the individual contributor, manager and executive level in non-fab functions such as R&D or general, sales and administrative (GS&A).

NXP directly hires recruited foreign migrant workers with the support from NXP approved labor agencies that provide support in document processing, such as visa applications, renewals and dormitory accommodations.

The demographics data below, represented as total NXP headcount, is as of December 31, 2021.

  • HC Headcount
