Microsoft stands firm on its
commitment to diversity. Despite challenges, it continues to strive
in strengthening its diversity commitment.
Recently, Microsoft has updated its “Law
Firm Diversity Program” in a bid to improve the diversity of the
minority lawyers in leadership roles in the law firms it deals with.
Then
in another move to foster diversity, an article by Melissa
Maleske on Law 360
says that: as a step in its drive to open a dialogue about lawyers
with disabilities, Microsoft’s legal and corporate affairs team
launched a study that found people with disabilities face unique
barriers on the road to becoming a lawyer. The team released the
results to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the enactment of the
Americans with Disabilities Act on July 26.
“The research in the area is pretty scant,” Snapp says. “To commission this study to bring things together from different places and to try to make things foot and tie was actually a pretty unique exercise for us. It told us there just was not much information out there on the topic of people with disabilities in the professional workforce.” - Read more at:

Sometime
before this, Microsoft announced its support for The Equality Act, a
comprehensive federal LGBT non-discrimination legislation.
“To create technology that empowers
the world, we need to reflect the diversity of the world,”
Microsoft said in a statement. “Supporting diversity, inclusiveness
and equal treatment is not just good for business, it is also the
right thing to do. That’s why we support the protections for LGBT
Americans as outlined in The Equality Act.” - Read more at:
