Sports Production Inclusion Responsibility In Technology
SPIRIT was created in response to a pressing need in the sports production community to better reflect a diverse culture.
By doing so the community not only becomes richer spiritually but the content becomes better, the work environment stronger, and the workforce happier and more productive.
Sports production is in a unique position to lead the charge when it comes to diversity. The athletes are diverse, the on-air talent is diverse, and the viewership is diverse.
"It is our goal to take advantage of all of that diversity and inclusion and ensure that the production side of the industry reflects societal diversity in a meaningful way."
For many teens and students, a career in sports production begins and ends with trying to become on-air talent. Why? Because that is the only career in sports-production they are aware of.
SPIRIT VOICES will change that as it will offer a rich collection of videos and other assets where men and women of all races discuss their job, what makes it exciting, and how someone can begin to take the steps necessary to work in that position.
"The goal is to inspire everyone, regardless of race or gender with insights into how they joined the industry, how they excelled, and more."
Powered by the unique combination of Peer Networks and Talent Performance Solutions, AchieveNEXT provides an inspiring learning and development ecosystem for business leaders, teams, and enterprises to achieve next-level growth.
Vision: Diverse Individuals, Teams & Enterprises Realizing Their Full Potential to Drive a New Era of Inclusive Growth in the Communities They Live and Work.
