This is the second notable recognition the
company has received this week, following being named to the
Fortune 2022 'Change the World' list
DUBLIN, Oct. 13,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT), a
global leader in healthcare technology, today announced that Great
Place to Work® and Fortune magazine have honored Medtronic
as one of the 25 global companies named to the World's Best
Workplaces™ in 2022.
For more than six decades, the Medtronic Mission has served as a
strategic framework for the company and guided its efforts to use
technology to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. In
pursuit of fulfilling this Mission, the company recognizes the
importance of delivering a rewarding experience for its employees –
knowing that when employees are engaged and feel supported, they
can more fully contribute their skills and talents to developing
life-saving innovation.
The 25 global leaders were selected from organizations that
participated in Great Place to Work's employee survey, representing
nearly 15 million employees worldwide. The 25 World's Best
Workplaces were noted for creating globally exceptional employee
experiences, enabling high-trust relationships, and fostering
workplaces that are fair and equal for all.
"It's a tremendous honor to be named one of the world's best
workplaces," said Geoff Martha,
chairman and CEO of Medtronic. "The recognition reflects the
contributions of our passionate 95,000+ employees around the globe
and their commitment to delivering the best possible experiences
for every patient, physician, and caregiver we serve. They work
hard every day to fulfill the Medtronic Mission, and their
dedication, honesty, integrity, and service allow us to impact the
lives of more than 76 million patients each year."
The World's Best Workplaces list is highly competitive. Great
Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture, selected
the list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee
feedback. Companies were only considered if they are a Great Place
to Work-Certified™ organization.
"This recognition is especially meaningful because it's based on
feedback from our employees around the globe," said Carol Surface, Chief Human Resources Officer at
Medtronic. "Our Mission compels us to provide a fulfilling
experience for all employees, because we know innovation,
creativity, and collaboration thrive when our people do too. This
honor highlights that commitment and inspires us to continue to
make Medtronic a great place to work ― for our current employees
and those who will join in the future."
Great Place to Work is the only company culture award in the
world that selects winners based on how fairly employees are
treated. Companies are assessed on their ability to create a great
employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability
status, or any aspect of employee identity or job role.
"For companies with a global workforce, achieving a consistent
experience for every employee is exponentially more difficult—and
impressive," says Michael Bush, CEO
of Great Place to Work®. "Despite the many challenges facing global
businesses in 2022, these companies have put the well-being of
their people first. Their success is proof positive that when
companies do right by their employees, no problem is too great to
overcome."
The World's Best Workplaces list is the second notable
recognition that Medtronic has received this week. On Monday, Oct. 10, 2022, Fortune named the
GI Genius™ intelligent endoscopy module to its prestigious
2022 'Change the World' list. The annual list recognizes leading
global companies that exemplify the creative tools of capitalism to
address society's most pressing needs.
Medtronic is committed to solving the world's biggest health
challenges with healthcare technology. That is why AI and data are
not only transformative trends in the industry, but also strategic
pillars for Medtronic – and GI Genius is a clear example of that.
Today, the GI Genius module is the first commercially available
computer-aided detection system using AI to help physicians detect
polyps and flag signs of colon cancer. The module is poised to have
a world-changing impact in the fight against colorectal cancer and
improve patient outcomes by assisting physicians in identifying
polyps they might otherwise miss.
