This 2021 was not at all pleasant for the developer company Activision Blizzard, brought them serious problems and scandals that put the company to the limit, receiving bad reviews and comments about it.
But 2021 It’s almost over, which makes this company want to turn the page and promise itself, its employees, and its general public a great 2022.
The American company continues in the eye of the hurricane, the same reason why the company, as well as many of us they hope this 2022 will be a better year, one more bearable and plans to get down to work.
This has been declared Daniel Alegre, president and chief operating officer of Activision Blizzard, who was in charge of contacting the company’s employees through an internal letter (which he shared publicly afterwards), to talk about diversity in the company and to reaffirm your commitment to improve this representation.
In this message, the manager expressed his feelings, acknowledging that trust is earned through actions, and that despite having made “a great advance on several fronts” in 2021, there is an “undeniable frustration within the organization” about progress and response in terms of work environment.
So, Alegre refers to the fact that the contribution of the employees has been very important, because thanks to them the company has redoubled efforts to make important changes and although he cautions that the initiatives could take time to be noticed throughout the company, he assured there will be significant changes next year.
Among its plans for 2022, is to place more leaders in diversity, equity and inclusion in front of Actvision Blizzard Inc. and setting annual performance and diversity goals, investing in learning and development to foster a culture of inclusion, mentoring, and sponsorship programs, and continuing to evolve the talent and recruiting system.
Another detail that was touched on in the letter is the transparency that employees already need to exist within the company, because they believe that, if they had already had it previously, the same company would know where it should improve to offer a better working environment.
For this reason, Activision will begin to share and analyze information related to the diversity and gender of the employees in the company and will update it every quarter.
According to Alegre, for Activision Blizzard, diversity is just as important as innovation.
Thus, the company aims to increase the number of women and non-binary people by 50% so that they make up more than 30% of the company’s employees.
