A leaked survey means we now know how Microsoft employees feel about their jobs

A Microsoft employee survey, internally dubbed the "MS Poll," was leaked and viewed by Insider. According to Insider, the findings from the survey and associated documents include that almost 132,000 of the 149,000 employees qualified to give feedback participated and that in at to the lowest degree one category, Microsoft accomplished a ninety% favorable response rate.

That category would exist the "Inclusion Index." In 1 certificate Insider reviewed, that index is defined as "authenticity, belonging, belief in the commitment to diversity." And then if Microsoft is pulling 90% favorability there, it'south an indicator the company is doing something correct in its inclusivity efforts.

One curious omission in this year's survey was a category containing pay-specific questions. Though we can't know how satisfied or dissatisfied Microsoft employees were with pay in 2022, previous MS Poll results show that in 2022, 65% of employees idea their overall compensation was competitive with jobs at other companies. That number fell to 61% in 2022, then 57% in 2022, and then 55% in 2022, indicating why the 2022 MS Poll might not have asked about this topic.

There is one category on the MS Poll that is not like the others, in that but high-level employees with the title of "principal" or above are provided it. This category is the "Leadership Excellence Index." 77% of employees gave positive responses to this category's questions, though Insider was unable to determine what specifically is covered in them.

The MS Poll leak does not give much in the way of useful granular breakdowns, only it allows for some wide perspective on the mood of employees. Seeing the downward trend in bounty approval and the high 2022 marks in inclusivity, for example, gives an idea of where Microsoft is doing its workers right and where it may exist declining them. Time will tell if the MS Poll leaks over again in 2022 to keep informing outsiders of Microsoft'due south efforts to hear its employees.
