Microsoft has announced a voluntary exit offer for eligible employees in India, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The time-limited program is available to employees at level 70 and below in participating teams and provides financial support and career planning resources. Globally about 60,000 employees are eligible; Microsoft has roughly 23,000 employees in India, though the number eligible locally is not specified. Eligible staff in India are understood to have until December 1 to decide. The package is reported to resemble standard severance, including one month’s base salary for each completed year of service, plus health insurance and career transition services. Chief People Officer Amy Coleman said the offer gives employees considering a move outside the company a supported option and gives participating organizations another way to adapt their workforce. Participation is not uniform and depends on business priorities and customer commitments.
