U.S. President Barack Obama plans to honour Microsoft’s Indian-origin CEO Satya Nadella with the “Champions of Change” Award for bringing about a change within his company to support working families.
“Microsoft recently announced that over the next year, it will make changes to ensure that a wide variety of suppliers that do business with Microsoft in the U.S. provide at least 15 days of paid leave each year to their employees who handle Microsoft work,” the White House said as it announced the names of recipients of the Champions of Change Award.
The award is given to those who support working families and have helped to bring about a change within their companies, communities or organisations by advocating for paid sick and paid leave policies and equal pay.
