6yThank you for taking the time to share your concerns, especially as a current employee %E2%80%93 hopefully we have time to work together to improve things from your perspective! Diversity and growth are things we talk about (and care about) a lot at Getty Images, but we do understand that visible changes don't always occur as quickly as people would like. Since gender specifically is mentioned, I can share that for the first half of 2019, more than half of our new hires were women. More than half of all promotions since 2017 have been female, and our female leadership population in particular is up from 2017 to 2019. While the numbers may vary across our different geographies and teams, overall we are making progress toward a more balanced gender representation at all levels of the company. Aside from diversity awareness, all newly hired or promoted leaders go through basic leadership training internally; and our team ensures continued education and conversation with focused trainings and communications through the year on topics from transformational leadership, change leadership, and performance ratings bias awareness. If you would like to talk more in-depth about any of your concerns or have suggestions of where we could place additional focus, please reach out to one of your local leaders or anyone on the HR team (in any location, doesn't have to be your current office!) - including our D&I Program Manager.
