V2 enforces a zero-tolerance harassment policy for employees, contractors, external studios, vendors, talent, community-facing contributors, and visitors.
Reporting Channels#
Reports can be submitted to HR/people operations, the independent ombudsperson, the anonymous reporting channel, legal, or the direct manager of the reporter's choice. Anonymous reports receive the same intake SLA, evidence preservation, and retaliation protection as named reports.
Investigation SLA#
- Intake acknowledgment: 1 business day for named reports.
- Safety triage: same day for threats, stalking, harassment-in-progress, discrimination, sexual harassment, child-safety concerns, or retaliation.
- Investigator assignment: 2 business days.
- Initial action plan: 5 business days.
- Standard investigation target: 20 business days, with written extension reason when more time is required.
Enforcement#
Confirmed violations trigger corrective action up to removal from the project, vendor termination, platform-access removal, or employment termination. Retaliation is a separate violation and is investigated even when the original report is unsubstantiated.
Bystander Training#
Bystander training is mandatory at onboarding and annually. Leads receive additional training on power dynamics, contractor vulnerability, talent settings, community harassment spillover, and documentation quality.
Independent Ombudsperson#
The ombudsperson is independent from production reporting lines. They can advise reporters, monitor pattern risk, audit investigation timeliness, and escalate process failures to the studio GM, HR, and legal.
