Inclusion, Diversity and Engagement

Through inclusion, diversity and engagement,
we innovate for life.
We come together from all parts of the world, leveraging our diverse perspectives, backgrounds, cultures, and generations to fulfill our Mission…improving the lives of others.
To fulfill the Medtronic Mission, 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 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 various perspectives are a powerful asset, because they reflect the diverse nature of our global marketplace, customers, and patients.
“As a world leader in medical technology, Medtronic is committed to global diversity and inclusion in our workplace. We value each individual’s uniqueness and are proud that our employees can be themselves at work, which drives innovation in our industry.” - Caroline Stockdale, Medtronic Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer

Our business is diverse. Our customers are diverse. So we need to have a work place that reflects the diversity of our customers and business. This also provides us an opportunity to have multiple varieties of ideas. Diversity breeds differences and differences of opinion breed a better and more innovative business culture.
