Christie's reviews

We note your job title, which would suggest you are employed by a third party contractor to Christie’s due to the structure of our IT function. That said, whilst you do not work for Christie’s directly, it still concerns us to see your feedback. Christie’s have an Global Respect and Inclusion Policy and we do not tolerate Workplace bullying or racism, which applies to both our staff and third party contractors. I respectfully, but strongly, disagree with your comments regarding ED&I as someone personally and heavily involved in our efforts, the art world has structural issues in relation to diversity that will take a long time to solve for, but . Alongside our respect at work policies we are committed to a number of the actions and initiatives required to achieve our goals in such which include as; -Establishing the Christie’s fund to invest in initiatives to increase diversity across the art world -Hiring interns from the Change100 programme led by Leonard Cheshire -Partnering with Art History Link-Up to expand the reach of studying Art History -Expanding our apprenticeship programme – we are looking to hire 35+ this year (up from 21 in 2021) -Paying our junior staff and interns an fair wage to attract the broadest range of talent We believe the above, and all our wider initiatives, are concrete actions to try and affect change and positive progress. Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss on tmonk@christies.com (Toby Monk, Global Recruiting Director). The HR Team and I are here to listen and respond as appropriate.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are really pleased to hear that you found the company culture welcoming and that you had the opportunity to learn more about working with fine art. We are happy to hear that you had a good benefits and vacation time as we aim to provide a competitive total compensation package. Christie’s significantly invests in learning and development as a business, including rolling out a number of new training opportunities and methodologies. So far we have received positive feedback on all these new initiatives. We recognise that the art industry is not as diverse as it should be but we are taking the necessary steps to ensure that young people have the opportunity to participate; examples of this is our partnership with charity Art History Linkup and the Futures and Options charity. We are a global company, it is our aim that our workforce reflects our global makeup and we have a zero tolerance policy on racism. We are working hard to ensure that our ethnic diversity is also reflective of broader society. Our Diversity and Inclusion Committee is committed to achieving this objective and we continue to educate our employees by offering workshops an example of this is bystander training and allyship.
