Employee Development and Wellness

Investing in Professional Development and Employee Wellness

At Medtronic, we believe every employee deserves to work in a safe environment where they can thrive, with opportunities to advance professionally, and the ability to share in company success. Our learning and development programs help our talent reach their full potential, build lifelong skills, and strengthen our inclusive culture. We support professional development by providing educational opportunities at all levels of the organisation and take a structured approach to career conversations.

Two-way dialogue is critical to driving an inclusive culture. That’s why we invite feedback and encourage employees to share their voice in a variety of ways throughout the year. We integrate safety into our workplace culture, prioritise our employees’ health and wellness, and recognise each other’s accomplishments through our global "Recognize! Program". Combined with our compensation and benefits package, these initiatives set our people on a path to a successful and a rewarding career at Medtronic.
