Welcome to the world of diversity and inclusion in the gaming industry! No, this isn’t a boring HR seminar, it’s a call to action for all gamers, game developers, and industry professionals to come together and create a more inclusive and equitable gaming community.
But why is diversity and inclusion so important in the hiring process, you might ask? Well, for starters, having a diverse team leads to better and more innovative game development. When people from different backgrounds and experiences come together, they bring unique perspectives and ideas to the table, resulting in a wider range of stories and experiences for players to enjoy.
But it’s not just about creating better games. A diverse and inclusive workplace also leads to a more positive and productive work environment. Studies have shown that companies with diverse teams have higher employee engagement and satisfaction, leading to better performance and higher retention rates.
And let’s be real, the gaming community is already diverse, so why wouldn’t we want our industry to reflect that? From race and gender, to sexual orientation and ability, we want to make sure that everyone has a seat at the table.
But here’s the kicker, diversity and inclusion isn’t just about ticking boxes and checking off quotas. It’s about creating a culture where everyone feels safe, respected and valued. So, if you’re passionate about creating inclusive and equitable games, and want to be a part of a team that values diversity and inclusion, we want to hear from you! Apply now and let’s game on!
