We are not the first to take this step and hope this will encourage other gaming and tech companies to examine their position in an industry in which women, people of color, and other marginalized identities have been historically underrepresented. We believe that this work is especially important now, as many companies are reevaluating their commitment to DE&I strategy.
Pipeworks conducts our annual demographic survey anonymously in hopes that employees feel comfortable providing the most accurate information. We ask all employees to select their identity group(s) for the following categories: Gender, Race and Ethnicity, Age, Sexual Orientation, Religion, Ability/Disability Status, Veteran Status, and Caregiver Status. We recognize the sensitive nature of the information we are asking our employees to disclose; therefore, each question has “Prefer Not to Disclose” as a possible answer choice. Those who choose not to disclose are represented under “Nondisclosed” in the following data.
The survey was distributed to a total of 189 employees, and we received 177 responses at its conclusion. Those that did not respond to the survey are also represented under “Nondisclosed” in the following data. All percentages are rounded to the nearest tenth.
* Multiracial/Other category in 2024 includes Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
*American Indian/Indigenous Origin and Black/African American received enough responses to be represented as their own categories in 2024
With the results from the 2024 Demographic Survey, we will continue to identify areas where we can improve and provide aid to marginalized and underrepresented groups within our studio. Within recruitment, we will continue to expand our candidate pool and standardize the hiring process to reduce the opportunity for unconscious bias. Our goal is to create a truly diverse and inclusive company to improve the experience of every employee. We are proud of the improvements we have made over the last five years but know there is still a long way to go. These surveys continue to help us measure shifts in engagement and belonging at Pipeworks. Thank you for reading and thanks to all who participated!
