The Hollywood Commission, led by Anita Hill, launched the first-ever culture survey:
“open to all people working or who have sought work in the entertainment industry.” “All in the industry are encouraged to participate – you do not have to have experienced abuse of power, harassment or bias to fill out the survey,” thereads. That broad pool could lead to a significant amount of data, something they are counting on.
“At the end of the day, the aim here is to help us develop as complete an understanding as possible of the issues facing the entire industry. The number of survey responses will also tell us how serious and purposeful Hollywood is at solving the systemic problems it has been so dogged at illuminating,” said Hill in a statement shared on the Hollywood Commission website.
The survey, which is designed to be completed in 15-20 minutes, will collect standard demographic and work history information on respondents. Questions include multiple-choice prompts about the respondent’s view of progress made in the industry when it comes to preventing harassment, confronting the abuse of power differences and fostering a welcoming environment for those with diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
The launch comes with a quick timeline as the commission plans to release a summary of the survey’s findings early in the new year. According to the Hollywood Commission, the data will help to shape the group’s 2020 initiatives to protect workers, particularly freelancers and those just starting out in the industry, who are less likely to have access to resources to protect against workplace bias and harassment.
To help spread the word, the Hollywood Commission and the EIC are relying on those within the industry to help disseminate the survey and are encouraging people to use #HollywoodSurvey on social media.
