When pandemic hit home, employee found peace of mind
Andrea Romero, representante de ventas para CathLab en Bogotá Colombia, recuerda el miedo que sintió cuando su esposo, José, estuvo entubado por COVID-19.
“Lamentablemente todos los días fallecían pacientes” dijo ella. Andrea recordó haber visto un comunicado sobre el beneficio de licencia por cuidado familiar de Medtronic y decidió investigar.
“Medtronic no cierra sus puertas para ayudar a sus empleados y yo soy fiel testigo de ello”, dijo Romero.
Con el beneficio de “Family care leave”, los empleados elegibles pueden obtener hasta seis semanas de licencia fuera del trabajo 100% remunerados para atender situaciones familiares.
“Medtronic realmente se preocupa por nuestra gente y desea apoyarlos con tiempo valioso que puedan necesitar para estar con sus familias en momentos críticos como el que experimentó la familia Romero”. Dijo Denise King, Vicepresidenta Global de Remuneración y Beneficios en Medtronic.
