REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration(Reuters) – Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:) announced Wednesday that it would cease enforcing non-compete clauses currently in effect in the United States and will also undertake a civil rights audit in 2023 of its workforce policies.
Redmond-based software company Software Corporation stated that changes in the enforcement of noncompete clauses will not be applicable to its most senior leaders.
Microsoft also announced that a civil rights audit would be performed on its workplace policies and practices by third parties and that a report would then be published.
Software firm also plans to publish salary ranges on all company job posts in the U.S., both internal and extern, by January 2023. The U.S. Settlement and Separation Agreements would no longer contain confidentiality language that prevents employees from disclosing illegal conduct.
Last week, the company stated that it will not resist any unionization attempts by its employees. This is a sign that there has been a growing interest in tech sectors which have long been unconcerned with organized labor.
