A Data-Driven Approach to Workplace Culture in Gaming

The video game industry is known for innovation and creativity, yet many professionals still face workplace challenges that limit growth, safety, and inclusivity.

At elsewhereNFP, we believe that real change starts with real data. Our research provides the first global, data-driven insights into workplace culture in gaming, giving companies, policymakers, and industry leaders the tools to create safer, more inclusive environments.

🎯 Our goal? To ensure that every professional – regardless of background, identity, or region – can thrive in this industry.

This study is the first large-scale, region-specific analysis of workplace culture in gaming, aiming to:

✔️ Gather insights from professionals worldwide to highlight trends and disparities.
✔️ Pinpoint key obstacles affecting workplace safety, leadership, and diversity.
✔️ Offer evidence-based recommendations that enable studios and organizations to implement measurable, lasting improvements.

Instead of just acknowledging the industry’s challenges, we focus on driving change through real, actionable data.
