The Scottish Games Network is delighted to announce a new strategic partnership with Emploi HR, a new expert Human Resources consultancy, to provide vital support and services to the Scottish games ecosystem.
The games industry is renowned for its creativity and technical innovation, but it is not always famous for its workplace culture. For new and growing studios, navigating the complexities of human resources – from contracts and compliance to building a positive and sustainable team environment – can be a significant challenge. Without expert guidance, founders can often run into avoidable problems that impact their most valuable asset: their people.
This new partnership with Emploi is designed to address this critical need directly, offering studios and developers across Scotland access to professional, fractional HR services and support.
Emploi has already established itself as a key partner for the creative industries, starting with our friends at Animation Scotland. This new partnership further strengthens Emploi’s commitment to supporting the digital entertainment media sector.
Scott Baxter, Founder of Emploi HR, said:
I’m super excited to share that Emploi has agreed a strategic partnership with the Scottish Games Network. The Scottish Games Network is a focal point and community for the rapidly evolving industry, and this new partnership builds on our existing collaboration with Animation Scotland; further strengthening Emploi’s growth into digital entertainment media.
As part of the collaboration, SGN & Emploi will be hosting several free upskilling sessions for the Scottish Games Network community over the coming months, providing expert advice on a range of HR, business and company culture topics.
Brian Baglow, Director of the Scottish Games Network, added:
Building a positive and sustainable studio culture from day one is one of the most important and often overlooked challenges for new founders. This partnership with Emploi is a fantastic resource for our entire ecosystem. Providing accessible, expert HR support can help our studios avoid common pitfalls, build stronger teams, and create better, more successful places to work. We’re delighted to be working with Scott and his team.
This collaboration marks another step in building a more robust and supportive infrastructure for Scotland’s world-class games ecosystem.
