Diversity and Inclusion is not just a statement on paper at Microsoft; it’s a core value, business imperative, and an investment in our people. Microsoft promotes and integrates diversity at every level within our organization and in everything we do. We believe that a diverse employee base with varied experiences enables us to better serve our customers’ needs and creates a competitive advantage in the global marketplace.
Our policy of inclusion in the U.K. ensures that Microsoft is a fair and accessible company for potential and existing employees, regardless of their gender, disability, race/religion, age, or sexual orientation. With flexible working opportunities open for all our employees, we also offer an on-site nursery, a prayer room, pregnancy classes, maternity coaching, and a wide variety of networking groups which anyone can join.
Microsoft U.K. is a proud sponsor of Stonewall (a gay, lesbian and bi-sexual charity) and Women In Technology, and works very closely with the Royal National Institute for the Blind.
