The ENTERTAINMENT Survey REPORTS 2019-20

The Hollywood Commission launched the largest, first-of-its kind, culture and climate survey about discrimination, harassment and bullying across the entertainment industry. With valuable contributions from 9,630 entertainment workers in television and film, commercials, live theater, music, broadcast news, talent representation, public relations and corporate settings, this survey is a key element of our collective, relentless, relentless drive to create a safe and equitable future in the entertainment industry.

Report #1: Accountability

Despite perceived progress, the entertainment industry has a permissive climate toward sexual harassment: workers don’t believe that powerful harassers will be held accountable or that reports will be taken seriously.

Report #2: Bias and Diversity

Despite widespread antidiscrimination statements and policies, gender diversity targets, and unconscious bias training, most workers don’t think the industry values diversity, inclusion or respect.

Report #3: Bullying

Hollywood has an entrenched and endemic issue with bullying that is exacerbated by the industry’s power imbalances.

Report #4: #MeToo: Progress, Sexual Harassment, and Sexual Assault

While 69% of workers perceive progress in preventing harassment since #MeToo (October 2017), unwelcome sexual conduct remains a persistent problem, with high rates of general harassment, unwanted sexual attention, sexual coercion and sexual assault.

Report #5: Culture & Climate Report 2019-20

Despite awareness of unacceptable workplace behaviors, workers reported disappointingly high rates of bias, bullying, and sexual harassment. Few reported these behaviors to their employer. Many experienced retaliation. There are, however, signs of progress – many workers saw moderate to a lot of progress in preventing harassment and in welcoming and valuing diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
