Microsoft announced on Wednesday local time that it would stop implementing the existing employee non compete agreement in the United States, and promised to conduct a civil rights audit of its human resources policy in 2023. Microsoft said that the adjustment of the implementation of the non compete agreement does not apply to the top management of the company. In addition, the civil rights audit of human resources policies and operations will be conducted by a third party, and a special report will be issued after the audit is completed.

In addition, Microsoft also plans to publish the salary range in the internal and external recruitment information released throughout the United States at least before January 2023. In the United States, Microsoft will also stop including confidentiality clauses in employee reconciliation and resignation agreements, which prohibit former employees from disclosing what they consider illegal.
Microsoft also said last week that it would not boycott employees' activities to form trade unions. This shows that the acceptance of trade unions by the technology industry, which has not been concerned about the ILO for a long time, is increasing.
