The Redmond, Washington-based software firm said changes to
the enforcement of non-compete clauses would not apply to the company's most
senior leadership.
Microsoft added the civil rights audit of its workforce
policies and practices would be conducted by a third party and a report would
be published.
The software firm also aims to have salary ranges in all of
the company's internal and external job postings across the U.S. by at least
January 2023.
It would also no longer include confidentiality language in
its U.S. settlement and separation agreements that prohibits workers from
disclosing conduct they perceive as illegal.
The company had last week said it would not resist
unionization efforts from its employees in a sign of growing receptiveness in
the tech sector that has been for long unconcerned about organized labor.
