Post by Kevin Peesker, President Microsoft Canada
As leaders, we know a defined diversity, equity and inclusion strategy should be an integral part of any organization. This past year has elevated why it is critical for businesses to play an active role in creating environments where people of diverse backgrounds feel empowered with the right opportunities, resources and platforms to thrive. The Black Professionals in Tech Network (BPTN) is a pillar within Canadaâs technology industry and is making incredible strides to bridge the network gap that currently exists for Black technical and business professionals. We are proud to deepen our partnership with BPTN to support their efforts and be more deliberate in growing Black talent at Microsoft in alignment with advancing our culture of diversity and inclusion.
