October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), a time to celebrate the contributions of America’s workers with disabilities, past and present, while working to achieve parity with this year’s theme “Disability: Part of the Equity Equation.”
At Microsoft, we believe people with disabilities positively impact our company culture, working environment and how we serve our customers. Through partnerships within the disability community, we’re working to help reduce the unemployment rate for people with disabilities around the globe. To date, we’ve hosted Neurodiversity Hiring events, created an inclusive interview process, trained and educated our teams on disability etiquette, and provided a range of interview accommodations to increase the diversity of our teams, and positively impact the culture of our workplace.
