September 6, 2018 – Through a culture of inclusion, Medtronic is fostering a vibrant, healthy and diverse employee community that truly reflects the world — and in doing so, is gaining important insights to improve human welfare around the globe.

Announced today, Medtronic has been ranked third on the 2018 Thomson Reuters Diversity and Inclusion Index. This is the third year Medtronic has made the list, jumping ten spots from number 13, which they held in 2016 and 2017.

“For more than half a century, the fifth tenet of the Medtronic Mission has called us to respect the dignity and personal worth of all employees,” said Chief Human Resources Officer, Carol Surface. “This tenet ensures we have an employment framework that inspires continuous development, recognition, and high performance, creating a powerful employee experience where diverse perspectives contribute to our shared Mission of alleviating pain, restoring health, and extending life.”

Thomson Reuters looked at more than 7,000 companies and assessed them against four main pillars: Diversity, Inclusion, People Development, and Controversies. Efforts related to women in leadership roles, employees with disabilities, training and skills development, and employee satisfaction are all considered in the ranking process.
