EEO Policy Statement
Effective 2008-2009
Medtronic’s Policy with respect to EEO Affirmative Action compliance is set forth below.
Policy
It is the policy of Medtronic to provide equal employment opportunity to all persons regardless of age, color, national origin, citizenship status, physical or mental disability, race, religion, creed, gender, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, status as a disabled veteran and/or Veteran of the Vietnam Era or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law. In addition, Medtronic will provide reasonable accommodation for otherwise qualified disabled individuals.
Medtronic's goal is to achieve at least proportional representation of women and people of color across the company. Our programs are designed to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, directives and regulations and cover all human resource actions including employment, compensation, benefits, training, education, tuition aid, transfers, promotions and social/recreational programs.
Responsibility
Martha Goldberg Aronson, Senior Vice President and Chief Talent Officer, and her designee, Michelle Miller, Vice President/Employment Law, are responsible for leading Medtronic’s affirmative action efforts and ensuring that the principle of equal employment opportunity is understood and followed. The HR head for each Medtronic establishment is responsible for local affirmative action efforts. All members of management must be familiar with this policy, must fully support it, and are responsible for applying these principles in good faith. All employees are responsible for conduct consistent with Medtronic's EEO Policy and are expected to demonstrate respect for all co-workers.
Medtronic posts this statement to inform applicants and employees of Medtronic's commitment to equal opportunity in employment. The Affirmative Action Plan and EEO/Affirmative Action Plan for Disabled Workers and Disabled/Vietnam Era Veterans is located in local HR offices and may be reviewed by applicants and employees on weekdays during normal working hours.
