Home | About Minnetronix | Social Responsibility
Social Responsibility
We believe that most people who choose to work in the medical device field do so with a desire to help humankind. In addition to the inherent rewards and satisfaction we achieve through our daily activities, Minnetronix encourages involvement within the community, charities, local businesses, education, and local recruitment.
Employee Support
Minnetronix has flexible work schedule policies in place and we encourage our employees to schedule their time at work around their important family and community activities. We have a deep appreciation and consideration for family values. Our employees coach local youth sports teams, are Girl Scout and Boy Scout leaders, work closely with their churches, and chair non-profit boards, among other activities. Occasionally they take a piece of their work to their children’s schools for “show and tell.” Our employees’ children are often seen at work during school breaks and school holidays.
Charitable Donations
Minnetronix supports many charities and encourages employee participation in charitable events. Over the past several years, Minnetronix has contributed to many charities ranging from St. Joseph’s Home for Children, Sharing and Caring Hands and the American Heart Association. Minnetronix also donates often to charities in memory of employees' family members.
Employees who spearhead these charitable efforts often do so on their own accord during work hours and on company time. They do so without having to ask permission and with the confidence that it’s acceptable at all levels of the organization.
Local Business Support
From a business perspective, we contribute to community development by buying supplies and services from local businesses. In addition, we invest in and partner with local start-up companies in various business ventures. We continually seek new vendors that share the same ideals as Minnetronix. This includes structure, innovation and turnaround time.
We should also mention that we are sponsors of our popular neighbors to the west, the St. Paul Saints baseball team, since we agree with their slogan that ”Fun is Good!”
University/Local School Support
Since 2001, Minnetronix has been a sponsor of the Design of Medical Devices Conference at the University of Minnesota. Additionally, we often discuss technology transfer opportunities with companies that are being formed as start-ups using technology developed at the University of Minnesota.
Employee Base
Minnetronix advertises locally for available positions. This includes neighborhood papers, local universities and colleges, as well as the large metro newspapers. Hiring from the local talent pool has helped make Minnetronix a success.
