In June of this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.microsoft.com\/blog\/2020\/06\/23\/addressing-racial-injustice\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">the company launched an initiative to double the number of black and African American people<\/a> in management and senior leadership positions within its US business by 2025.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/query.prod.cms.rt.microsoft.com\/cms\/api\/am\/binary\/RE4H2f8\"  rel=\"noopener\">The Xbox firm&rsquo;s Diversity and Inclusion report for 2020<\/a> shows that only 4.7% of Microsoft&rsquo;s US workforce is black, an increase of 1.1% since 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The company&rsquo;s attempts to foster greater diversity in leadership came in the wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis in June. This triggered Black Lives Matter protests around the world against systemic racism in society. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2020\/06\/01\/black-lives-matter-sony-microsoft-riot-naughty-dog\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft was one of the video game companies who expressed public solidarity with the movement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2020\/11\/05\/xbox-boss-spencer-says-games-industry-needs-black-leaders\/\">Xbox boss Spencer says games industry needs more black leaders<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/\">VG247<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The head of Xbox Phil Spencer has said that he wants to see more black people in leadership positions in games.Speaking to Kotaku, the Microsoft exec said that the industry as a whole, including Xbox, needs to have more black people as \u201cvisible leaders.\u201d Spencer said that he felt black people have not been given [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2020\/11\/05\/xbox-boss-spencer-says-games-industry-needs-black-leaders\/\">Xbox boss Spencer says games industry needs more black leaders<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/\">VG247<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":992,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Xbox boss Spencer says games industry needs more black leaders - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"The head of Xbox Phil Spencer has said that he wants to see more black people in leadership positions in games.Speaking to Kotaku, the Microsoft exec said that"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,21,86],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112855"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/992"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112855"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112855\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":112856,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112855\/revisions\/112856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
