California\u2019s Department of Fair Employment and Housing sued Blizzard last July, saying it \u201ccreated a culture of \u2018constant sexual harassment\u2019 and gender-based discrimination.\u201d The revelations that followed through the rest of the year only served to confirm those assertions, and even as accusations of retaliation continue to roll in<\/a>, a new set of leaders say they are committed to making changes. <\/p>\n

In January, Blizzard president Mike Ybarra wrote about<\/a> \u201cthe work we are doing to rebuild your trust in Blizzard,\u201d and included descriptions of several full-time leadership roles dedicated to changing the culture<\/a>. It appears that two of the spots have been filled, as Activision Blizzard appointed Kristen Hines as its new chief diversity, equity, and inclusion officer last month<\/a>, and today Blizzard Entertainment announced<\/a> Jessica Martinez as its first vice president, head of culture.<\/p>\n

According to Blizzard, her responsibilities include \u201cgrowing and implementing our culture strategy, ensuring alignment across all teams and functions, and revamping learning and talent development programs.\u201d The announcement says she\u2019s leading the learning and development team, while working with \u201ccommunications, events, and each of the franchise and functional leaders.\u201d Martinez is credited with 14 years of \u201cleading strategy, communications, operations, and employee experience\u201d at Disney. <\/p>\n

Beyond those positions, Ybarra\u2019s post mentioned bringing in \u201ca new organizational leader for Human Resources who will build trust, empower our teams, and help foster a safe, positive work environment for everyone.\u201d He also said that compensation for executives would depend on their success in \u201ccreating a safe, inclusive, and creative work environment at Blizzard.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
