Global benefits
Business Travel Accident insurance
Medtronic offers Business Travel Accident (BTA) insurance to help protect you when you travel for business if you experience a need for medical or travel assistance. BTA insurance also provides you with additional life insurance coverage, up to six times your Annual Benefits Base Rate (ABBR)* to a maximum of $1,500,000.
*ABBR means base salary as of January 1, plus a 3-year average of variable pay (i.e., commissions, Medtronic Incentive Plan, etc.).
Employee Resource Groups
Diversity Networks and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) often begin as platforms for inclusion — to create space for employees to connect based on shared identities. But our Diversity Networks and ERGs do even more. They help model inclusion and diversity and, through unique partnerships and volunteer efforts, help amplify our impact in communities.
Family Care Leave
Family Care Leave (FCL) allows up to 6 weeks of 100% paid leave every 24 months. FCL helps support work/life flexibility and provide peace of mind. FCL makes it possible to step away from work without having to worry about your income. FCL runs concurrently with any statutory leave benefits to ensure a consistent benefit for a range of family situations.
Employee Assistance Program
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is here to support you by providing no-cost confidential counseling, resources, and referrals for work, personal or family needs. These services are provided by a network of global EAP partners.
Incentive plan
In addition to your base salary, regular employees are eligible for a short-term incentive plan. Short-time incentives are based on role and targets vary by job level. Payouts vary based on Medtronic, team and individual performance and achievement of specific objectives. You will receive details about eligible incentives from your Talent Acquisition Partner.
Recognition program
Recognize! is our global platform to recognize and connect with colleagues for living the Medtronic Mindset, making a difference, and celebrating milestones and life events. Managers are able to award Recognize! Points that employees can redeem for experiences or merchandise.
