Overview

• The Hollywood Commission has made its MyConnext Ombuds Office accessible to all entertainment industry workers, regardless of union membership or employer affiliation.
• The Ombuds Office provides free, neutral, and confidential guidance to help workers navigate harassment, bullying, and workplace conflicts without acting as a formal reporting body.
• MyConnext includes digital tools like timestamped record-keeping and a 'hold for match' feature, which secures reports until corroborated by another user.
• The expansion builds on feedback from over 10,000 industry workers, with surveys highlighting a need for reporting resources, helplines, and record-keeping technology.
• Launched in 2024 with support from major guilds and studios, MyConnext's expansion marks a significant step in addressing systemic abuse in Hollywood post-#MeToo.
