Game Studio Workforce Demographic Survey

The IGDA is attempting to compile data on the workforce of game development studios. This survey will allow us to better understand our constituents as well as giving us a snapshot about the current makeup of the industry. There are 11 questions and it should only take a few minutes to complete. The deadline for survey submissions is Friday, July 15. (This survey is intended for those who work in Human Resources or those who fulfill a similar role at game studios. If you are not in HR, please take our dedicated survey for individuals working within the game industry.) This survey is anonymous and you and your company will not be named or identified in any way. Results will be compiled in aggregate. The results of the survey will be reported by the IGDA some time in August. Free access to the report and aggregate data will be made available. As a small token of appreciation, you will be eligible to win one of three $100 Amazon.com gift certificates. After completing the survey you will be prompted to enter your email address (this is optional, will not be linked to your survey data and will not be used for any other purpose).
