Ubisoft has defeated racism and sexism — so far only within its own company

The company has hired a new HR director, Anika Grant. She will make sure employees work rather than harass each other

Against the backdrop of relatively recent scandals involving so-called “toxicity,” Ubisoft has hired a new HR director. Anika Grant will be responsible for recruiting staff across all company divisions, as well as developing strategies to foster talent and leadership qualities among the staff. 

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot is confident that under Anika Grant’s attentive guidance, company employees will thrive in an atmosphere of equality and respect, regardless of skin color, orientation, or religious beliefs.

“Anika will help HR teams share our vision of creating a strong and talented workforce, and will also implement innovative and new ways of working,” — Guillemot says.

Prior to Ubisoft, Anika Grant worked in the HR departments of Uber and Dyson.
