Medtronic Director Lisa Palin has benefitted from the company's disability-focused Employee Resource Group (ERG).
Being part of this community has enabled Lisa to connect with people like her.
“Not all disabilities are visible…I am so grateful to work for a company where ERGs are provided, supported, and encouraged," says Medtronic Director Lisa Palin.
Medtronic's commitment to inclusion meant it was chosen as a Top 50 Employer for People with Disabilities by the Careers & the disABLED magazine.
Advance inclusion, diversity, and equity efforts
ERGs represent both local hubs of Medtronic Networks and additional shared-identity groups at Medtronic.
With more than 26,000 members across 70 countries, these grassroots, employee-led groups help recruit diverse talent and foster belonging within their particular community.
Each group works with allies and partners to advance inclusion, diversity, and equity efforts.
A sampling of ERGs that are empowering change across the company include:
- ABLED (Awareness Benefiting Leadership & Employees About Disabilities)
- American Indian Employee Resource Group
- Christian Employee Resource Group
- Medtronic Jewish Community
- Medtronic Young Professionals
- Muslims and Friends
- Veterans Employee Resource Group
