BUILDING COMMUNITY
Networks & groups
Our Diversity Networks and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) ensure that everyone has a platform to share their voice, collaborate across functions and programs, and advance programs and policies that promote more women and ethnically diverse employees into leadership roles. We have more than 31,000 employees involved in 12 ERGs and Diversity Networks across more than 250 hubs and chapters.
Diversity Networks give employees from underrepresented groups a platform and a pathway toward advocacy, exposure, and development. These networks are The African Descent Network; Asian Impact at Medtronic; Hispanic/Latino Network; Medtronic Women’s Network; and the PRIDE Network.
ERGs enhance the professional growth, development and engagement of Medtronic employees and support the Mission, goals, and values of the company. The grassroots nature of ERGs lay the groundwork for the Medtronic global inclusion, diversity, and equity (ID&E) strategy. Groups include
- African Descent Network
- Asian Impact at Medtronic
- Awareness Benefiting Leadership and Employees About Disabilities (ABLED)
- Christian Employee Resource Group
- Hispanic Latino Network
- Medtronic Jewish Community

Stronger together
Embracing our differences
We’re creating a future that requires all our strengths — including our 95,000-plus employees and our influence as the world’s leading healthcare technology company — to advance equity in our workplace, our industry, and our communities. We work hard to cultivate a workforce that reflects our patients and partners.
Although Medtronic is a big company, it does not feel like a big company. There is also room and understanding for your private life.”
