A broadcaster's report found that a handful of BBC stars and managers "behaviorally unacceptable" and bosses often cannot address them.

The comment was commissioned by the BBC Board of Directors in the wake of the Huw Edwards scandal and concluded that there was no widespread "toxic" culture, but that there was a "few" bad behavior that had not been resolved".

In response, the BBC said it would carry out reforms, and its chairman Samir Shah said he would draw "a line in the sand".

He told the host: “After today, let me make it clear that if you think you are too big a star or too important to live with the values ​​of this organization, then you are not only wrong, but we will find you.”

BBC Board Chairman Shah said the report highlighted “some deep problems” and that “abuse of power or crack down on or underperforming people” have no status in the company.

These people, he said, “not only make life difficult, but sometimes unbearable.”

Although most employees respect it, he said: “In organizations, there are still bags in organizations that do not have this situation. There are a few people who are simply unacceptable to behave.

“In some places, there are powerful individuals on and on screen that can abuse this power to think that colleagues cannot stand their lives.

"The report makes some suggestions to prioritize actions over procedure changes, which is completely correct. It also addresses some deep issues, such as making sure everyone can feel confident and can't speak."

The report heard 2500 BBC staff and freelancers and concluded that the company generally has no toxic culture and that many workers believe that culture has improved in recent years.

But it found that "a minority behavior is unacceptable and does not resolve its behavior."

"These people work in roles and open spaces, working in different functions and departments throughout the organization. They are often in positions where they may abuse their power," the report said.

“Even if their numbers are small, their behavior still creates huge ripples, which negatively affects the BBC’s culture and external reputation.”

It said that over the years, the BBC has shown “inconsistency in the execution of handling poor performance and bad behavior”.

The report added that most presenters were “deemed to work with and respect”.

But the author heard "an example of well-known names does not illustrate poor behavior."

The report did not publish the names of any person accused of bad behavior, but said that some of the presenters’ names were mentioned separately by several different employees.

“We also heard about 'Untouchables' working behind a camera or microphone,” it said. “This perception is that senior management will be aware of bad behavior when making award-winning or attracting a large audience.”

The report also says it has heard instances of unreasonable behaviors employees have towards managers, such as “sending abuse of emails, acting proactively in meetings, and even making inappropriate comments they escaped” and “the manager or colleague should be able to step in.”

BBC Director-General Tim Davie welcomes “We are committed to clear, practical advice implemented with PACE”.

BBC's reforms include:

• More powerful discipline policy
• Strengthen the Code of Conduct
• Improved mechanisms allow staff to complain without fear of revenge
• A “call” campaign to “promote positive behavior” and allow employees to speak out
• Complaint hotline
• Updated new employee contracts “definitely expecting behavior”

Culture Minister Lisa Nandy said: “In places where there is no abuse or harassment in any workplace, BBC staff joins the public in correctly expecting their national broadcasters to have the highest standards.

“I welcome the public commitment taken by the BBC leaders to the conclusions of this report.

"They must now implement an action plan to address these suggestions without delay. The government believes that the BBC must correctly address this."

"The promise to draw a line in the sand is by no means an empty promise," Broadsing Union Bectu said.

But many employees have a "some level of cynicism" in the ability of BBC leaders and managers to implement the necessary changes.

The company announced revelations about Edwards, its former senior news host who committed crimes involving child abuse images.

Additionally, some BBC staff members accused Edwards of sending them flirting and “urgent” private messages, one said he was treated “like the God of News” and “allowed to “allow him to feel like he can get rid of everything”.

The new report comes 12 years after a previous review in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal, suggesting that the BBC has “strong fear” in addressing bullying.

The report found that some bad behavior appears to be challenged by senior executives, with some being "deemed "untouchable" due to their value to the BBC.

Over the past year, there have been a series of allegations about the BBC host and questions about how companies deal with them.

In January, the BBC apologized to employees who thought they could not worry about Russell Brand’s behavior because he was seen as “too much influence” and they felt that he “always go his own way, so they remain silent.”

Then in February, the BBC Board of Directors apologized for "missing opportunities" by former radio station 1 DJ Tim Westwood to address "bullying and aversion".

Jermaine Jenas, who posted a show and competed in the day, was fired last summer after complaining about workplace behavior.

Gregg Wallace, as MasterChef co-host, resigned from co-host after alleging inappropriate comments including 13 people he worked with, saying “not all true.”

Two strict dance professionals, including Giovanni Pernice, did not return to last year's series, while the BBC insisted on some complaints against him but cleared the worst allegations against him.
