He said Seven had already removed a number of people “who have displayed behaviour not reflective of SWM’s values”.
Previews of the program, and a news story published on the ABC’s website, indicate the investigation will cover historical instances ofepisode titled “Don’t Speak”, said in a since-removed post on social media platform X that she spoke to 200 people about “allegations of sexism, exploitation and extreme bullying”.Howard’s note to staff on Friday said it was unfortunate that a few employees took up an offer to participate in the ABC’s investigation.
“If any of the issues they call out weren’t appropriately addressed, that disappoints me; we should have done better – and for that I’m sorry to those affected. Once we have seen the full story, we’ll provide everyone with some additional context if needed for clients/partners etc,” Howard wrote.In a six-month period of executive overhaul at the media company, Howard replaced James Warburton as chief executive in April.
