Following investigation sparked by Gates disclosures and shareholder outrage

Microsoft’s board is reviewing its policies on sexual harassment will issue a report in the spring after years of complaints about Microsoft’s investigations.

Nadella confronted the subject last May, following reports that Bill Gates, Microsoft’s co-founder and original CEO, had pursued a sexual relationship with an employee in 2000.

Microsoft received a report on the matter, and a board committee looked into it. Gates left Microsoft’s board in 2020.

The law firm Arent Fox is handling the review. Arent Fox was hired by the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee to review claims of abuse at national team rowing programmes. The US men’s coach, Mike Teti, ended up resigning in October.
