Feeling stifled at work? You're not alone. Jen Smith, CEO of CIISA, believes that bullying, harassment, and discrimination are the silent killers of creativity and productivity. And she's got a plan to tackle it head-on.
In a recent statement on November 14, 2025, Smith outlined her vision to combat the staggering £1.8 billion annual losses plaguing the Media & Entertainment (M&E) industry. Her strategy? To eradicate harassment at every level within the industry's notoriously complex structure.
This announcement coincides with Bullying Awareness Week, where The Film and TV Charity released its '24 Deep Dive report, aptly titled 'Looking Glass'. This report specifically examines workplace bullying, harassment, and discrimination within the UK film, TV, and cinema sectors.
But here's where it gets controversial... Smith's approach requires a deep dive into the very fabric of how these businesses operate. It's a bold move, but is it enough? What do you think? Share your thoughts below!
