Hello, thank you for your review and feedback. We take all concerns seriously and work to always remain transparent and honest across the board. Our leadership team cascades their team goals at the beginning of every year so that employees have a clear view of which areas they need to focus on for the year. We also encourage employees to speak with their manager if they need additional guidance on goals.

Hi, thank you for your review. I appreciate you taking the time to talk about your experience at Getty Images. I am not sure where you are located, but we offer benefits to all employees, regardless of where they are located. Our Benefits team also takes the time to do market research each year to ensure that we are always competitive in the market with our offerings. If we are not competitive, we look for ways to enhance our offerings. In terms of evaluations, we have a standard performance review process, which is the same for all employees across the board, regardless of their position or level. The purpose of this is to maintain consistency and provide the same opportunities to all. If you feel you have received a biased evaluation and would like to talk more about your concerns, your Human Resources Business Partner is always available. Additionally, if you have any further specific concerns that you would like to share, feel free to email me at sarah.dudley@gettyimages.com.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. As Chief People Officer, I am saddened and concerned that that has been your experience. I’d like the opportunity to change that and am interested in learning more about your observations and experiences so that we can improve where we are falling short. If you are open to it, please email me directly at lizanne.vaughan@gettyimages.com. However, if you are at all uncomfortable with that, I encourage you to visit our Raise a Concern site available on our internal Mixer site or to utilize the Whistleblower hotline anonymously at https://gettyimages.alertline.com/. Our annual Engagement Survey will be launching in the next few weeks which also allows you to share anonymous feedback and I encourage you to participate and share your insights. We are committed to building a culture that actively combats racism and that is inclusive of all experiences and perspectives. Similarly, we’ve increased our investments in development programs including our Amplified Mentoring Program directed at creating opportunity for our colleagues who have historically been underrepresented. Additional efforts include our Leader Foundation, Foundational Learning to Diversity & Inclusion and Anti-Racism leadership learning and programs. Our Leadership Principles guide our decisions and we expect our managers and leaders to not only live by them, but to Lead By Example. We are also committed to pay fairness and conduct regular audits utilizing internal and external benchmarks. I hope to hear from you and appreciate your time and feedback.
