Our social calendar is full of a range of social, cultural, religious, and other events that are designed to raise funds, increase awareness, and to let us keep learning and sharing our knowledge as we grow. From Shrove Tuesday to Rosh Hashanah, Wear it Purple Day to RUOK day, STEPtember to Movember, we’re always asking the team what’s important and doing what we can to hold space for each other.

We’re working on making sure our team reflects the wider world. We have a long-term focus on supporting women in achieving their leadership goals via Microsoft’s Women Rising Program. We’re building our internal capacity with a mentorship program to support personal and professional growth – of both mentors and mentees. We’re redefining and clarifying the objectives of our DEI committee to make sure we continue to drive positive change.

As our team grows, so does our commitment to making sure each team member feels comfortable bringing their authentic self and their individual wealth of experience to the table. Welcoming diversity, promoting equity and understanding that inclusion is the key to finding opportunity hidden in different perspectives.
