Diversity and Inclusion is something that alot of companies are doing now and speaking about how we hire, groom, raise, aswell as how we make products. When we say that we are diverse and inclusive, it isnt just a nice thing for your company. Diversity can make your company more profitable.

We need to understand that diversity isn’t just a person- they are not the ‘other’.

Microsoft currently has an autistic hiring programme where individuals with super powers (as Dona sees it) help design better products. We can use these super powers to make a more inclusive company and build a more diverse environment. Hear Dona’s story.
