Inclusive environments in the workplace
Microsoft is committed to growing a diverse workforce that includes people with disabilities, both internally at Microsoft and externally. By creating accessible inclusive technologies, Microsoft strives to empower people with disabilities to obtain, retain, and advance in employment opportunities across the globe.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan: Microsoft will continue to build our Inclusive Hiring strategy, which includes systemic and programmatic hiring of people with disabilities across all jobs and geographies. Systemically, we will continue to create inclusive processes and practices, such as targeted sourcing of candidates with disabilities, centralized accommodation process, and our Disability Employee Resources Group. Our programmatic approach includes our Autism Hiring Program and Supported Employment Program. We commit to sharing our learnings with other employers in furtherance of disability employment.
