We value diverse ideas

Microsoft has established a number of initiatives to promote and integrate diversity at every level within our organization, and to demonstrate this commitment locally, nationally, and globally. For example:

Diversity Education Programs. These programs reinforce our commitment to diversity and ensure that our employees have the tools and resources they need to grow professionally. The emphasis is on understanding and valuing differences, and leveraging them in order to compete effectively in an ever-changing marketplace.

People with Disabilities. Microsoft wholeheartedly supports the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In addition, we provide grants to innovative endeavors that address the technology needs of the disability community and support programs that use technology to increase employment.

Microsoft Outreach. Our company is committed to encouraging the next generation of technology leaders. For the 2002-2003 academic year, we are excited to be offering scholarships totaling $540,000 to students in computer science and related disciplines, primarily to groups underrepresented in technology fields.

Women at Microsoft. Microsoft is committed to attracting talented women to the company, providing generous work/life balance programs and leadership- and career-development opportunities. We have developed relationships with key women and minority professional organizations across the country. We participate in conferences and career fairs, facilitate workshops, and support annual events.
