A new era of transparency
Details
In an industry often characterized by time pressure and creative challenges, transparency and employee wellbeing are key. How can we ensure that all employees work in a safe and supportive environment?
It is essential that production companies develop mechanisms to receive regular feedback on working conditions and respond quickly to issues. This is where the "Call It!" app, which was launched in the UK in 2021, comes in. It makes it possible to anonymously evaluate everyday working life and thus draw attention to concerns about health, safety and the working environment at an early stage.
bildundtonfabrik (btf) in Germany is committed to making this transparency the standard and supports the app developers. The aim is to promote a culture in which regular reflection on working conditions is a matter of course.
Sarah van Holt (btf GmbH) and Kate Wilson (Callit! App) talk about the challenges and opportunities of their collaboration.
