Medtronic's mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life inspires its work every day.
Employees take on new challenges and are on the cutting edge of life-changing medical technology no matter what their role is. The combined ideas, energies, and intellect are keys to Medtronic's success — and to improved healthcare globally. And for this, diversity of thought is essential for the company's innovation.
Information Technology Director for Asia Pacific, Fiona Lim, says that: "Inclusion and diversity are interrelated and have a direct flow-on impact on each other. When we have intentional actions for inclusion, allowing individuals to feel a sense of belonging, they trust in us and experience psychological safety. This makes them comfortable to then speak up and share their perspectives, which leads to diversity in thinking and lessening the risk of biased outcomes, thereby achieving better equity."
"Diverse perspectives across our Global IT inspire our bold answers to any challenge that comes our way," says Medtronic.
