Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) is at the heart of what we do. While the games industry has made some strides in fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion, there is still much work to do, particularly when it comes to the representation of women in the workforce. As specialist recruiters, working for the games industry, we believe it is important for us to champion DEIB, and highlight how it can enrich the culture of individual studios and the industry in general.

The Empower-Up platform is dedicated to providing practical EDI advice and resources to help studios and their leadership teams make a change for the better.


The Programme was launched in 2022 in support of the Ukie Raise The Game initiative and is suitable for all games companies, wherever they are on their EDI journey. The platform features:


• An Intro to EDI section, providing a summary of each Protected Characteristic and other Under-Represented Groups, along with some advice and guidance

• A practical Health Check tool that enables studios to benchmark where they are on their individual, current EDI journey.

• An EDI Journey section, which provides information and guidance

• Resources, featuring inspirational Case Studies, a Directory of EDI organisations and initiatives, and a Glossary of Terms

• News and Events, which are regularly updated

Launched by Amiqus’ Business Manager Liz Prince in 2018, Putting the G into Gaming is a campaign to build more gender 

diverse and inclusive workplaces in games with actionable steps.


Putting the G into Gaming has four focuses:


• Attracting women from outside the industry into the industry

• Supporting women already in the industry

• Working with schools and universities to promote games as an attractive career option for girls and young women

• Providing studios with practical advice on how they can address gender imbalance, regardless of their size. 


Industry reports reveal that women make up around just 25% of the total games industry workforce - despite half of all gamers worldwide being women or girls. An even smaller percentage of those are engaged in developer roles or in leadership positions.


We’re here to find ways the industry can put its foot on the accelerator to make games a go-to career choice for women, from all walks of life.
