As a worldwide innovator in healthcare technology, Medtronic understands that exceptional patient outcomes begin with supporting the people behind the work. True employee support means recognizing individual needs at every point in both life and career. That’s why Medtronic’s benefits evolve with employees, offering adaptability, support, and peace of mind for the future.

Building early careers
Medtronic provides a strong foundation for growth and development: Team members can take advantage of fully funded education programs, mentorship opportunities, career development resources, and a vibrant Young Professionals community that encourages connection and collaboration.

Well-being resources such as Headspace, confidential counseling services, and comprehensive wellness initiatives help employees develop healthy routines from the start.

To promote financial stability, Medtronic offers student loan support, financial education workshops, a competitive 401(k) match, and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, empowering employees to plan confidently for both short- and long-term goals.

Supporting families and caregivers
As personal responsibilities change, Medtronic ensures its benefits continue to meet employees’ evolving needs: Employees have access to parental leave, fertility and family-building assistance, reproductive health coverage, and resources supporting neurodiversity.

Flexible programs such as Family Care Leave and Four Weeks from Anywhere allow employees to manage work alongside important family commitments, whether welcoming a child, supporting loved ones, or caring for elderly family members.

Additional services include eldercare and dependent care navigation through Wellthy, backup childcare, cancer support programs, and mental health resources designed specifically for children.

Preparing for retirement
Medtronic helps employees plan for long-term security and well-being:
Robust retirement savings options, including 401(k) plans and regional equivalents, form the foundation of financial readiness.

Employees can access financial guidance tools, advisory services, and — in some locations — phased retirement programs to ensure a smooth transition.

Ongoing resources support both financial confidence and overall wellness during this stage of life.

Every employee’s path is different, but Medtronic’s commitment remains constant: providing benefits that strengthen, support, and empower employees throughout every phase of their journey.

Telemundo has unveiled Tu Momento. Tu Jugada., also known as Telemundo’s Next Play, a nationwide sports and community initiative designed to highlight how athletics can positively shape character, teamwork, and leadership. Backed by Comcast NBCUniversal, this grassroots effort reaches across multiple sports and regions, blending mentorship, live experiences, and local collaborations to empower young people with confidence, connection, and leadership skills that extend beyond the game.

At its core, Tu Momento. Tu Jugada. is driven by the belief that sports have the power to uplift entire communities. The lessons learned through competition—perseverance, discipline, cooperation, and integrity—mirror the values that help families and neighborhoods grow stronger. The initiative aims to spotlight emerging leaders, reinforce local organizations, and inspire communities to build a future rooted in the principles that sports instill.

The program launches on December 11 in the San Francisco Bay Area, marking the six-month countdown to the start of FIFA World Cup 26. From there, it will travel through eight Telemundo and Comcast NBCUniversal markets, including Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Through a nationwide mobile tour, youth training clinics, fan activations, and community partnerships, the initiative will bring the excitement and spirit of the world’s premier sporting event directly into local neighborhoods.

“Tu Momento. Tu Jugada. allows us to motivate young people, open doors for leadership development, and reinforce grassroots sports—while inviting fans everywhere to celebrate their love of the game,” said Christina Kolbjornsen, Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs at NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises.

“As the exclusive Spanish-language broadcaster of FIFA World Cup 26 and a trusted voice for Latino audiences, Telemundo is dedicated to making sure the passion of this global event extends well beyond the stadium.”

A Nationwide Community Movement
Bringing together families, educators, entrepreneurs, youth advocates, and fans, Tu Momento. Tu Jugada. channels enthusiasm for sports into leadership development, collaboration, and community empowerment. With the World Cup returning to North America for the first time in more than three decades, the initiative will connect and energize communities through live programming, mentorship opportunities, and strategic alliances, including:

Strengthened Through Partnerships
As Telemundo enters its eighth consecutive year as the official Spanish-language media partner of the U.S. Soccer Foundation, Tu Momento. Tu Jugada. continues to expand opportunities for Latino youth, support grassroots sports development, and encourage entrepreneurship at the community level.

“We are honored to collaborate with Telemundo on Tu Momento. Tu Jugada. to inspire young people, engage families, and strengthen communities through soccer,” said Ed Foster-Simeon, President and CEO of the U.S. Soccer Foundation. “The game has an unmatched ability to unite people, create joy, and unlock opportunity—especially in communities where resources are limited. Together, we are building pathways that empower youth, connect fans, and help soccer thrive for generations.”

Tu Momento. Tu Jugada. is part of El Poder En Ti, Telemundo’s award-winning national initiative focused on uplifting Latino communities through inclusion, wellness, education, and civic engagement. By expanding this mission through sports and leadership development—and with the support of Comcast NBCUniversal—Telemundo continues to deliver meaningful, long-lasting impact across the communities it serves.

Truist Financial Corporation, in partnership with Quail Hollow Club, has unveiled a lineup of community-driven programs set to coincide with the return of the Truist Championship to Charlotte in 2026. The event, one of nine PGA TOUR Signature Events, will take place at Quail Hollow Club from May 5–10, 2026, underscoring the tournament’s long-term commitment to creating a positive and lasting impact across the region.

Together, they outlined plans emphasizing four key priorities — honoring Charlotte’s heritage, empowering youth, fostering community connection, and supporting local businesses.

“The Truist Championship is much more than a premier golf tournament — it’s a vehicle for lasting community impact,” said Adam Sperling, Executive Director of the Truist Championship. “Through initiatives like Birdies for Better and our tribute to pioneers such as Charles Sifford, we aim to ensure this event leaves a legacy that extends far beyond the fairways.”

“At Truist, our purpose is to inspire and build better lives and communities,” added Bill Rogers, Chairman and CEO of Truist. “Bringing the Truist Championship home to Charlotte gives us the opportunity to celebrate our city’s history, empower youth, strengthen local connections, and support small businesses — all while delivering an unforgettable tournament experience.”

Paramount and The City Tutors Foster Career Connections Through Mentorship
During December’s Season of Giving, CUNY students and professionals united for two virtual mentorship sessions organized by Paramount and The City Tutors. With support from Paramount’s senior leadership—including Naveen Chopra, EVP and Chief Financial Officer of Paramount Global—and the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) team, the event highlighted a commitment to nurturing meaningful relationships and supporting NYC’s diverse talent in media, technology, and finance.

Despite the busy holiday season and finals period, nearly 130 participants attended, eager for a rare opportunity to engage directly with Paramount professionals who shape the industry. The event underscored Paramount’s dedication to fostering mentorship, bridging gaps for aspiring professionals, and making industries more accessible to students from all backgrounds.

A Four-Year Collaboration Creating Career Pathways
For the past four years, Paramount and The City Tutors have collaborated to open doors in marketing, human resources, technology, finance, and media. This partnership has deepened over time, with increasing engagement from specific teams and senior leadership to ensure impactful experiences for participants.

Naveen Chopra’s involvement, alongside his team, reflected Paramount’s holistic approach to supporting nonprofit initiatives—not just through volunteer efforts but by embedding corporate resources into the process. He noted:

"Whenever our Finance and Technology teams collaborate with The City Tutors, it’s a privilege. The media industry offers countless career paths, and our goal is to help students leave these mentorship sessions with new perspectives and actionable steps for their careers. I’m always impressed by the insightful questions and perspectives students bring to the conversation."

Adam Robinson, VP of Global Social Impact, echoed this sentiment:
"Strategic partnerships are at the core of Paramount’s approach to driving positive change. By working with organizations like The City Tutors, which identified a need for mentorship in entertainment-related fields, we create valuable opportunities for both students and employees. Many of our mentors are New Yorkers themselves, and through this initiative, they can guide the next generation of storytellers and industry leaders."

Students Share Their Experiences
For many CUNY students who lack traditional career pipelines, the mentorship event provided crucial access to industry professionals. One participant shared:

"This experience connected me with professionals I wouldn’t have met otherwise. Learning directly from experts in tech and media helped me understand how my skills apply and where I need to grow. It’s given me the motivation to take the next steps in my career."

Mentors Reflect on the Power of Guidance
Paramount mentors shared valuable insights in breakout sessions, emphasizing key lessons such as developing transferable skills, navigating career transitions, and staying resilient in the job search process.

Oliver Delgado, Senior Director of Global Strategic Sourcing at Paramount, addressed a common concern among students:

"Many students worry about not coming from traditional ‘target schools.’ But attending events like this proves they have the drive and ambition to succeed. The key is to focus on their unique strengths and the opportunities ahead rather than on which schools companies prioritize."

Building a More Inclusive Workforce
By collaborating with organizations like The City Tutors, Paramount is doing more than offering mentorship—it is actively working to build a workforce that mirrors the diversity of New York City. Each mentorship event strengthens a growing pipeline of opportunities, helping students expand their networks and envision career paths they may not have previously considered.

Garri Rivkin, Executive Director of The City Tutors, highlighted the impact of Paramount’s involvement:

"What sets Paramount apart is their intentional approach. They don’t just host events—they bring in leaders who can provide real, actionable guidance. This is how meaningful access is created and lasting impact is achieved."

Through these efforts, Paramount continues to uplift NYC’s diverse talent and create ripple effects throughout the industry. By fostering career connections and professional growth, this partnership exemplifies how corporate social responsibility can drive meaningful change.
