Mission and Culture

Few companies can say their Mission is as deeply embedded into the hearts and minds of its people as our Mission is at Medtronic. The actions and decisions of employees at every level are deeply rooted in our quest "to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life." As CEO Bill Hawkins says, "It is an honor, a privilege, and a duty to have a purpose that calls us to save and improve people's lives."

A Culture of Constant Innovation

Our work changes lives. Each year, nearly 6 million people benefit from our therapies, but we know there are millions more who need them. So our Mission is a powerful motivator, driving us to continually pioneer new technologies, new therapies, and new ways to manage chronic diseases.

The result is an innovative culture where passionate people are encouraged and flourish. If your job search ends at Medtronic, you'll find yourself collaborating with some of the brightest minds in the healthcare industry.

Whether you work in Minneapolis, Munich, Mumbai, or anywhere else in the more than 120 countries where we do business, you can help make a difference to the millions of people who depend on Medtronic each year.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Medtronic, unique insights and fresh ideas drive our innovation. Diverse employees help us take our technologies to new levels, and make sure our products and processes work across cultures. That's true whether we're designing a device control panel, a physician training program, or an inventory tracking system.

In fact, maintaining a good balance of diverse people is so important to our success that our CEO developed annual Inclusion Awards. They recognize individuals, businesses, and departments that are attracting and retaining a diverse mix of highly talented employees.

In addition to internal diversity-promoting programs, we also have external programs to help eliminate disparities in device treatment, so that patient access to our therapies is not based on race, ethnicity, or gender.
