Diversity
To change the face of chronic disease, we need fresh ideas and diverse insights. So we seek out and welcome people with differing backgrounds and perspectives – from employees and suppliers to healthcare partners and patients.
Our workforce is a good example. Each of Medtronic’s 38,000 highly skilled employees brings distinct insights based on his or her combination of gender, age, culture, ethnicity, religion, abilities, sexual orientation, education, and upbringing. At Medtronic, those differences are a powerful asset, because they reflect the diverse nature of our global marketplace, customers, and patients.
To help foster an environment where all people feel respected, valued, and included, we developed a formal Inclusion Statement:
Medtronic's culture must be one of inclusion that leverages the differences and uniqueness of our employees, customers, patients, healthcare providers, and suppliers to generate optimal business results.
"At Medtronic, inclusion is a way of being, a way of fostering a positive environment and celebrating different points of view. Our business performance is inextricably tied to our culture. Idea generation, customer care, and operational excellence will be enhanced by a diverse workforce empowered to make a difference."
