BRAMPTON, Ontario – Medtronic of Canada is ranked in the Top 100 Employers in Canada for 2013, for the third year in a row, according to Mediacorp's annual competition.

The world leading medical technology company, which has close to 450 employees at Medtronic of Canada, sells, services and distributes medical devices used in cardiovascular medicine, diabetes, spinal and neurosurgery, and ear, nose and throat surgery.

Neil Fraser, president of Medtronic of Canada, remarked that being selected as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers was very rewarding and a true recognition of the commitment and dedication of the employees.

"It's our employees who make Medtronic a great workplace with their unique talents and skills and strong commitment to excellence in everything that they do. At Medtronic, we are committed to ensuring we nurture a positive working environment for employees, and place a strong emphasis on best practice in the workplace." said Mr Fraser. "Working together, we continually strive for performance excellence in order to provide the highest levels of product quality and service to the patients and physicians we serve worldwide."

The company's new LEED certified head office, maternity and parental leave top-up payments, tuition subsidies as well as great in-house training, mentoring and job-shadowing programs are among the many reasons Medtronic was chosen as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers, for the past three consecutive years.
