'Defend, deflect, and diffuse': Why Nine's culture Action Plan 'raises several red flags'

The article from Mumbrella discusses the concerns raised by Nine Entertainment's "Culture Action Plan," which was introduced in response to allegations of workplace misconduct. Critics argue that the plan, which includes strategies like "defend, deflect, and diffuse," might be more about protecting the company's image rather than genuinely addressing and rectifying the cultural issues within the organization. The plan has been criticized for potentially discouraging victims from coming forward by suggesting that complaints could be met with legal action or public relations strategies rather than internal resolution and cultural change. Furthermore, the article points out that the language used in the plan, such as "defend," implies a combative stance against allegations rather than a supportive environment for those affected. This approach raises red flags about Nine's commitment to fostering a safe and inclusive workplace, suggesting a focus on damage control over cultural reform.
