Our world continues to evolve. From the lingering impact of COVID-19 to war, economic turmoil, and climate change, we navigate twists and turns.
Medtronic, the global leader in medical technology, services, and solutions, decided to stand with FEBA to create better outcomes for our world, especially for those in need. IT Employees from across the globe embraced the opportunity to create solutions that make an impact and are sustainable.
The Pay IT forward global IT event took place between July 11-13. This event was organized for all Medtronic IT employees to come together live onsite in various office locations or remotely to create food and non-food kits for families in need (See here a video of the event). The event took place in 30 countries, 89 locations, seeing the participation of 386 volunteers split in 18 onsite events and resulting in about 1.360 kgs/175 boxes of food donated.
In addition FEBA took part in 2 Pay IT Forward Streaming Events live sessions (out of 8 with more than 442 employees attending) with Medtronic IT Employees from across the globe, a good opportunity to check in with the on-site events as well as with remote workers on the progress and experience on giving back to local communities.
“This ALL-IT event was an amazing opportunity for us to collaborate on a large scale with Medtronic IT employees from all around the world to support FEBA’s mission in helping the most vulnerable people and providing them with food. Seeing the incredible support from a partner like Medtronic means so much and has such a big impact on many lives. On behalf of FEBA and the entire network I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for their support” stated Valentina D’Arrigo, Senior Partnerships and Capacity Building Manager at FEBA.
“With your partnership we were able to drive global impact through local actions. On behalf of my team, a sincere thank YOU for helping us embrace our global footprint, thrive as one team, and serve our communities!” detailed Rashmi Kumar, Senior Vice President & Chief Information Officer at Medtronic.
