<p>In particular, the Activision Blizzard Commission’s response focuses specifically on company-defined “occurred and reported” harassment.</p>
<h2>Extensive allegations against Activision Blizzard</h2>
<p>Internal investigation of the problem <a href=]()
First announced Back in November, a wave of California proceedings and allegations of corporate abuse, harassment, and gender disparities rushed in. Among them was accusation that CEO Bobby Kotick knew many problems with the company, but he did not take action. Activision Blizzard’s board of directors supported Kotick in a statement at the time, saying, “I am confident that Bobby Kotick has properly addressed his attention-grabbing workplace issues.”
As the number of complaints increased, the Board of Directors established a Workplace Responsibility Committee to conduct its own internal investigation of the complaints. The committee was run by Activision’s Independent Director, Dawn Ostrov, and was joined by fellow Independent Directors, Rebeta Bowers. April, five months after the survey was announced, Lulu Cheng Meservey has been added to the board I participated in the committee.
The Commission’s investigation work includes “individual cases of harassment”, reviews of company policies and procedures, reviews of source documents such as employee emails and interviews, and unique interviews with current and former employees. It is said to include implementation.
The Commission claims to have worked with law firms and “supporting external advisors,” including “workplace experts,” to reach these conclusions, but in its report, Gilbert Caseras. Only specific external advisors are nominated. Casellas is a former chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and his role in the investigation was involved in reviewing data from reports of gender harassment investigated from across the United States between 2016 and 2021 by Activision Blizzard. It is said.
From these, Casellas concluded that “during that period, there was no widespread harassment, harassment patterns or practices, or systematic harassment in either Activision Blizzard or its business units.” Based on the volume of reports, the amount of fraud reflected is relatively small for companies of the size of Activision Blizzard. “
[T]The Board and its external advisors have determined that there is no evidence to suggest that Activision Blizzard’s senior management intentionally attempted to ignore or downplay cases of gender harassment that occurred and were reported.
“”
No further details were provided as to which specific elements of Activision Blizzard’s workplace culture Casellas were provided for consideration as a point of comparison to reach this conclusion. IGN contacted Activision Blizzard to clarify the nature of Casellas’ contributions, who else was involved in the committee. I will update this article if there is an answer.
The conclusions about Activision Blizzard itself will be made prior to the next shareholders’ meeting, where many measures will be voted on, including a shareholder proposal to produce a report on efforts to prevent abuse, harassment and discrimination. Activision Blizzard is actively encouraging shareholders to vote against editing such reports.
It also discourages shareholders from voting against the proposal to add candidates to the board of directors appointed by non-managerial employees of Activision Blizzard. The latter proposal is, among other things, “especially useful in light of recent allegations of sexual assault in the company. Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has been aware of allegations of sexual assault in the company for years. But did not notify the board of directors. “
Finally, the company is a shareholder in approving an executive compensation package that includes returning the annual salary to $ 875,000 after Cotic was asked to resign for a complaint against him and the company after cutting it to $ 62,500 last October. I’m calling for a vote. The actual salary of a opt-out is usually significantly higher due to stocks and many other bonuses and awards, but last year due to repeated criticisms of labor culture claims and compensation packages, some of these were I opt out. Cotic is eligible to receive millions of bonuses as early as July 18 if the Board of Directors determines that it has made sufficient progress in improving the company’s culture.
