    Amplifying Our Game:  Internal Mobility at EA.

    EA employees around the globe recently received an announcement from our Global SVP of Human Resources, Gabrielle Toledano, encouraging any and all to be fearless in our approach to furthering our careers – within EA.  EA has an active Internal Mobility program in place that encourages all employees to take full control of our career development, and partnered with our management teams, engage in our fully transparent process of internal applications and transfers.  There are some guidelines of course, but the bottom line is that EA is committed to facilitating this process, underscored by the belief that our organization is strongest when employees are openly encouraged to grow within.  Way to make career dreams possible, EA!

     

    EA and the Japan Relief Effort.

    Last month’s devastating earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan were felt very close to home within the EA community.  Our team in Japan is fortunately safe, but they are facing a daunting and uncertain future as their country begins rebuilding and recovering.  EA teams from around the world, including Battlefield Heroes, Playfish, Pogo, The Sims, Ultima Online and FIFA Ultimate Team have implemented some creative ways to reach out and help those in need.  Some of those campaigns included:

    • In-game micro-transactional features were modified to allow players to circumvent EA and go directly to Japan relief organizations.
    • At EA Canada, the facilities were used to pack meals for “Kids Against Hunger” – which were then sent directly to those in need in Japan
    • EA set up a donation matching program for employees donating to select organizations

    In the face of such tremendous challenge, our employees and their families in Japan have voiced their gratitude for the contributions being made by the EA team to the aid of their nation.

    A Gift For Teaching  is a non-profit organization that for over 10 years has been able to get free school supplies into the hands of  Central Florida’s highest-needed schools and classrooms providing neccessary tools to students who otherwise would have none while making sure teachers don’t have to spend their own money for school supplies.

    Our EA Tiburon studio contributed during A Gift For Teaching’s annual PUSH campaign.

    The PUSH campaign for School Supplies ended on August 31st and thanks to the employee generosity, the studio exceeded both the fundraising and the school supply donation goal.  EA Tiburon donated 13,789 pieces of school supplies and $2,336 in fundraising.
