Microsoft will update harassment policy after report shows pitfalls in handling of complaints
Summary
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella gestures during a session at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos on May 24, 2022. Microsoft on Tuesday said it would update sexual harassment and gender discrimination policies after a third-party report showed shortcomings in how the company deals with complaints. The report comes a year after Microsoft shareholders approved a proposal requesting that the board publish a review of workplace sexual harassment policies. In January, the board authorized the company to hire law firm ArentFox Schiff LLP to review policies, submit a report and make recommendations. "The board of directors and our senior leaders are fully committed to this implementation plan as we continually work to close the gap between our espoused culture and the lived experience of our employees," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a company blog post.
