Following an investigation into alleged workplace malpractice Ubisoft Singapore, the country’s Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (TAFEP) will not take action against the developer and has closed the case.
Last year, we learned that the studio behind Ubisoft Singapore’s oft-delayed Skull & Bones is being investigated for workplace discrimination after TAFEP received anonymous complaints from employees about sexual harassment and workplace misconduct.
Now that the investig ation has concluded, TAFEP has found that Ubisoft has a structured system for handling any workplace misconduct reports, noting that past reports have also been dealt with appropriately.
Ubisoft added that its Singapore studio has also appointed a third-party consultancy to review the company’s compensation structure. TAFEP said Ubisoft “does not disadvantage Singaporeans on the basis of nationality or race” and that it has a “structured process” for workers’ compensation.
According to TAFEP: “The findings suggest that employees’ salaries are performance-based and there are valid reasons for differences, such as differences in experience or seniority.”
Darryl Long, Managing Director of Ubisoft Singapore, said: “We have implemented best practices at Ubisoft Singapore to ensure that every member of our team has a safe, respectful, inclusive and fair workplace. We will continue to strive to be A model employer in Singapore and the region, attracting and retaining the best talent, creating great games and enriching the lives of our players.”
Following widespread allegations against Ubisoft last year, a representative told iGamesNews that the company “implemented significant changes in its organization, internal processes and procedures” in order to create “a safe, inclusive and respectful work environment for all team members” “.
Official government agencies in Singapore also appear to agree to accept that changes are in place.
