Microsoft to beef up legal training

InfoWorld | at | by Mike

More Microsoft employees will be required to have training related to antitrust laws, with all of those in the Platform and Services Division in line for sessions under a plan detailed in a court document Friday.

Quarterly mandatory training sessions will continue for new employees in PSD, which as part of a recent corporate reorganization now also includes the MSN unit, and the company will expand that training to those who are new to E&D, the court document says.

Thus far, more than 28,000 of Microsoft's 61,000 employees have attended training sessions, including workers from the U.S., Europe, Asia and Latin America, the company said.
