Workshop in London next week examines how to recruit and retain a gender-balanced workforce

MCV Staff 11th February 2015 Business News

A workshop in London next week will focus on how to recruit and retain a gender-balanced workforce.

The event is hosted by Next Gen Skills Academy and follows up on its Gender Balanced Workforce Survey, the results of which were published last month.

Key areas of discussion include analysing the results of the recent study, and the advantages commercially and culturally of having a balanced workforce.

The event aims to help attendees better understand how their decisions contribute to the workplace, but that from how job adverts are written to unconscious bias, plus mentoring and outreach programmes.

This event will take place in London on February 19th, on the morning before the MCV Women of the Year Awards 2015.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
