Microsoft is a nearly-50-year-old company worth over $3 trillion. But when it comes to ensuring that its workforce remains diverse and inclusive, the tech behemoth often takes cues from efforts made by smaller companies to stay ahead of the curve.
That's according to Lindsay-Rae McIntyre, Microsoft's chief diversity officer and corporate vice president of talent and learning. At Fortune's Impact Initiative in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday, McIntyre explained that she and other senior leaders at Microsoft are eager to learn from younger companies that can be more nimble in their inclusivity and accessibility efforts. These learnings, she said, help the company build and retain a competitive workforce.
