IGT has partnered the All-In Diversity Project as a founding member and participant in the project’s inaugural year.
The industry-driven project is a not-for-profit initiative whose aim is to support and encourage open and objective discussion on industry-specific barriers to inclusion and diversity while offering opportunities to improve.
The project will explore gaming industry specific topics that will include corporate governance, internal policies, recruitment practices, employment legislation, equal pay, unconscious bias.
“We sit as the industry’s first and only organization working to help the industry as a collective in terms of D&I,” said Kelly Kehn, Co-Founder of the All-in Diversity Project. “We established All-in Diversity Project, but this initiative should be led by the industry. IGT’s commitment to diversity and inclusion will help serve as a shining example to the industry globally as to leadership on progress toward workplace equality.”
“Gender diversity is not about pushing quotas or agendas,” added fellow All-in Diversity Project Co-Founder Christina Thakor-Rankin. “The All-in Diversity Project is about acknowledging that the expectations and aspirations of the next generation of employees and customers are very different to ours, and we need to make changes now in order to prosper in the future.”
