Hey there! It's Alivia from Team 4. I recently looked directly into what Microsoft is putting out for their customers to see about what they find important in their company. Their website states that being the world's largest software company, they help in making 'social and economic opportunities wherever (they) work, live, and do business.' The company strives to make their new technology, their workers, their partnerships and their day-to-day business have a genuine contribution to the betterment of communities and sustainability of the planet.
In order to create such a successful, innovative company, Microsoft needs to make sure that their employees are motivated and willing to work and hard in order to achieve that!
Microsoft finds it important to 'create a respectful and rewarding work environment' for their nearly 90,000 employees. Having a diverse and talented set of employees really puts things in motion for a great workforce. Microsoft finds this important in order to fuel creativity- leaving their employees feeling included, accepted, and also as a productive part of a team.
Microsoft knows that their employees are of the utmost importance, because of course, they fuel everything behind the company. Keeping them satisfied is a top priority. Every year, employees are encouraged to fill out a survey so that Microsoft can gage the satisfaction that employees feel within their job and the company.
In 2010, Microsoft found: 89% of employees feel proud to work for Microsoft, 91% feel they are treated with dignity and respect by their managers, and 83% feel that their work groups value diverse perspectives.
All in all, Microsoft knows that the key to a great company is great employees with a positive feeling towards their job.
