Games industry data shows 28% female vs ~50% workforce and argues diversity without inclusion loses hires; the business and moral cases cite June Sarpong’s Diversify and the measurable cost of inaction. Actionable steps include auditing job ads to remove gendered language, widening ad channels, offering remote and flexible roles, running internships and outreach, using anonymous feedback and employee resource groups, training on unconscious bias and appointing mental health first aiders.
