As commented on in MS2, when considering making changes to Medtronic’s current health insurance plans, more full-time employees will be affected by implemented changes than part-time employees. According to Herzlinge, Hurwich, and Bokser (2014), over 9,000 thousand of Medtronic’s employees are full-time, while less than 900 are part-time. This suggests that the overall impact to employees, if changes are implemented, may be that more of Medtronic’s full-time employees will likely be more satisfied with their health care coverage. As advised by Lesonsky (2017), insurance offered by employers is very important to employees, and it promotes higher employee because when employees are happy with their health care benefits they will likely be happy with their job. Therefore, changing the insurance plans at Medtronic will impact all employees, especially their full-time employees, because these employees make up the majority of Medtronic’s staff. Also, Medtronic as a whole will be affected if changes are made to their current plans. The company may have greater benefits expenses. According to the Society for Human Resource Management (2017) handling employee benefits can be expensive for employers. Therefore, Medtronic will likely be affected by changes to their insurance plans.

Revisions: Financial Cost:

As commented on in MS3, I wanted an analysis and discussion that took into consideration the costs associated with other offerings by the company. In addition, I wanted to see at a minimum, the definition of direct and indirect compensation.
