[ATTW-L] Activision Blizzard's message on "Creating A More Accountable Workplace"

[Dragga, Sam]

If you are looking for a provocative example of corporate communication on the subject of ethics, consider the e-mail message distributed to Activision Blizzard employees by Executive Vice President for Corporate Affairs Fran Townsend regarding remedies for a corporate culture notorious for claims of sexual harassment and discrimination (see, for example, https://www.wired.com/story/activision-blizzard-employees-walk-out-after-allegations-of-rampant-sexism/) .

The message was published yesterday on the corporate site at
https://www.activisionblizzard.com/content/atvi/activisionblizzard/ab-touchui/ab/web/en/newsroom/2021/10/creating-a-more-accountable-workplace.html

I imagine a lively classroom conversation about the language, organization, and design of this message as well as of the likely/unlikely efficacy of the proposed remedies.
