NAMIC, The WICT Network and the Walter Kaitz Foundation encourage companies in media and entertainment to participate in the AIM/PAR survey
The National Association for Multi-ethnicity in Communications (NAMIC) and The WICT Network today announced the timeline for launching the 2024 joint AIM/PAR Workforce Diversity Survey, underwritten by the Walter Kaitz Foundation. The survey will open for responses in early January 2024, and key findings will be released next fall during Diversity Week 2024 in New York City.
NAMIC and The WICT Network enlisted PwC, global professional services leader, to conduct the joint survey. The survey will focus on the current state of ethnic and gender diversity within the media and entertainment industry, benchmarking data vital to the advancement of people of color and women. This original research allows companies to set goals and policies to improve their diversity, equity and inclusion practices. The industry has been voluntarily tracking this data for two decades providing a level of transparency few other industries can tout.
