TBEN hosted a presentation by Venice Arts about Technicolor collaborating with them to support internships as part of Los Angeles County’s Creative Industries Internship program.

Black Film Space has also opened to Technicolor posting job openings on its career opportunity platform. In October 2021, for UK Black History we welcomed Olympian Derek Redmond as a keynote speaker. Cume Center for African and Diaspora Dance conducted two virtual live dance workshops. The virtual cinema club discussed the film His House by Remi Weekes. LGBTQ+ All Film and Episodic VFX locations continued to work with their local Balance DEI committees during 2020, which have expanded to include different representations of diversity, such as the LGBTQ+ community, religion, and ethnicity. Committees meet on a bi-monthly basis to discuss initiatives, with regular interviews, video updates and events promoted on branded studio Intranets to help reinforce messaging and celebrate diversity. There is now a stream called Pride, open to everyone, focusing on creating a welcoming space for all LGBTQ+ employees. One of the initial “Share Our Stories” podcasts launching in 2021 is entitled “The G in LGBTQ+” and in June the topic was Global Pride Month. Worldwide staff profiles are now facilitated in a way that allows each member of staff to designate their preferred pronouns. There are also plans started for gender neutral bathrooms at our work sites.

In addition, initiatives to promote gender parity are encouraged locally as in France, the UK, Poland and Brazil: in France, since 2019, an action plan was developed relating to • gender equity. In line with the collective agreement signed in 2016, it authorizes a dedicated budget to align compensation between men and women, training to support women and to promote their careers; in the UK, The Mill continued to roll out equal opportunity training • including unconscious bias awareness for hiring managers and staff, as well as events that champion women, these actions originating as recommendations from The Mill’s internal inclusion network. Periodic webinars were developed and hosted such as “Protecting your personal safety”, “Intersectional Feminism”, and “Ending FGM” where FGM means female genital mutilation, usually performed at a young age; in Poland, women candidates make up at least 50% of the short list for • any open permanent position, and the industrial operation actively manages lifestyle expectation concerning shift duration, physical capability, on-site restaurant offerings, and social events. Women are represented in the same proportion as employment for the site’s Stakeholder Representatives Committee, which reviews operational changes and provides input to management. As a new initiative for 2020 a flexible home office (teleworking) system was planned for the Warsaw offices in response to women staff’s request to improve work – life balance; in Brazil, pink October events include lectures, exams and medical • consultations related to the prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer, while blue November activities focus on prostate cancer in men.

The working group purpose is to raise awareness and to support the resolution of issues that affect people who are the descendants of indigenous Africans within our workplace because Black Lives Matter. TBEN will provide guidance and contributions to achieve Technicolor’s goal of fostering a workplace that is diverse, inclusive, equitable, and welcoming to all. TBEN supports colleagues and community by providing a voice, by providing resources to enrich, by providing a safe space, and by celebrating Black people.
