Demoralizing environment - IT Program Manager Christie's Employee Review

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.
