The Ubisoft saga continues. If you haven’t been following, here are the telegraphic highlights of the previous episodes. The storm around Ubisfot is a story of abuse, accusations of masturbation during business trips, toxic behavior and harassment, dragging through all levels. The decapitated heads in the French giant are unlikely to be counted.

The head of the giant, Yves Guillemot, promised radical steps: changes in the company’s structures, employment of a consulting company and finally a detailed audit and review of the personnel policy. And he keeps his word – at least partially – he keeps. An anonymous poll flashed through Ubisoft. Its results show that the company has a lot of work to do.
One in four employees was to witness or directly experience “some form of improper conduct”. In turn, 20 percent. employed at Ubisoft do not feel fully respected or safe in their work.
Among people treated improperly or even discriminated against, as much as 43 percent. are non-binary workers. 30 percent these are women.

Contrary to previous reports, the survey results were not leaked to work, but were sent by the PR department to the Kotaku editorial office. President Guillemot even managed to address some points. Thus, Ubisoft is expected to work to increase female employment, and is “working on other indicators to measure progress in promoting diversity.” Whatever that might mean.
It is worth adding that 66 percent. respondents who reported inappropriate behavior did not receive appropriate help. This is another piece that Guillemot wants to work on.
In addition, Ubisoft is to create an additional working cell called the “evaluation committee”. Its aim is to evaluate the content and methods of advertising in terms of “compliance with the values of respect and fairness”.
