Staff Benefits

At Microsoft, people are the source of our energy.

Our benefits and resources are designed to keep our most important assets - our employees - healthy, happy, and moving ahead. This is reflected in our very low and decreasing staff turnover levels. In 2000, Microsoft had a worldwide attrition rate of 9.6%; the rate has decreased since to its current 4.5%.

Our philosophy on benefits is simple: empower people with the healthcare, resources and financial incentives they need to be successful. The employee benefits and facilities may vary slightly, dependent on role and location of the Microsoft office, and are made up of a combination of health, education, insurance, superannuation and work/life balance considerations.

Here are just some of the benefits Microsoft staff enjoy:
