Hello, thank you for taking the time to share feedback on your experience at Getty Images. We are pleased that you enjoyed your time at the organization. As a result of the pandemic, we have given some thought as to how we can continue to be flexible since we know that employees are highly productive in the remote space. This is playing a role into our flexible Return to Office planning as the goal is for all colleagues to have the space to continue to balance life and work. We are hopeful this will be a great solution for folks who do have a bit longer of a commute. Thank you!
