Activision Blizzard Settles $18 Million Fund in EEOC Lawsuit

Activision Blizzard has created a $18 million fund as part of a court-approved settling agreement for sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuits filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission EEOC in court to compensate affected employees and provide compensation to the game industry. They announced that they had agreed to donate to charities such as sexual harassment against women.

The Company will improve its workplace policy and appoint an Equal Opportunity Advisor to the Board of Directors and the EEOC. A portion of the funds will also be used to build an environment for diversity and mutual acceptance within the company. In a complaint filed recently, EEOC accused Activision Blizzard of treating female employees as targets of sexual harassment, taking retaliatory action against employees who complained about the matter, paying female employees lower than men, and discriminating on the grounds of pregnancy. .

In comparison, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick said he is committed to making the company one of the most inclusive, respected and respected workplaces in the world. The EEOC issued a statement thanking the EEOC for its constructive efforts.

Activision Blizzard has also been sued by the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRB) in addition to the EEOC, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating. As such, it plans to continue its productive relationship with regulators. Related information can be found here.
