Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has emailed employees of the company today, providing an update on the publisher's investigations into abuse, and highlighting "four closely related areas in which we need to improve quickly".
Ubisoft has been wracked by numerous accusations of sexual, verbal, and systemic abuse, with multiple senior staff members leaving and being fired from the company. In an email provided to IGN, Guillemot explains the subsequent independent investigations, sharing that 2,000 employees participated in the listening sessions, 14,000 responded to anonymous surveys, 100 interviews were conducted, and 40 focus groups were held.
Following this audit, Ubisoft has identified "four closely related areas in which we need to improve quickly":
- Guarantee a working environment where everyone feels respected and safe.
- Putting diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything we do.
- Refocus and strengthen our HR function.
- Make the managers of the group accountable and empower them.
