Build a community with Microsoft​

Our employees make the most of their experience by creating their own community. Through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), social and networking groups, Microsoft is committed to helping you find opportunities to foster personal connections across global teams, participate in local engagements, and take part in global sustainability. ​

​Giving is essential to being a global citizen. We help you volunteer, take advantage of matching programs, and make a difference in the lives of billions around the globe. ​
