Microsoft Corp is testing several strategies to boost diversity in its workforce amid slow gains in the hiring and retention of women and minorities. The latest: Making inclusion a “core priority” for employees and factoring how well they meet that standard into their compensation package.
“That means employees and managers will have ongoing conversations throughout the year on how every individual at Microsoft can contribute to making us more diverse and more inclusive,” Lindsay-Rae McIntyre, Microsoft’s chief diversity officer, said Wednesday in an interview.
