WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Lunch and Learn with HR
In response to questions that have been raised by some of Getty’s DEI Task Forces and staff from around Getty, Nancy Gibson and Cathy Pericone will be holding open lunch-and-learn sessions on Zoom, beginning in early 2021. Each session will focus on a topic and cover such things as how employees may file a complaint/concern, and what happens next; how HR partners with departments regarding raises and promotions; and HR’s role in recruiting efforts across Getty to meet our diversity goals. Look for information about these sometime in January.
Questions About Vaccines?
COVID-19 Vaccines have begun to be available in California. For more information about the roll-out, visit the CDC or COVID-19ca.gov. Here is an excellent piece from our neighbors at UCLA Health that helps to correct vaccine misinformation.
What if You Forget Your Password Over the Break?
Have you set up your forgotten password security answers yet? Getty Digital has enabled a Forgotten Password link on the login page of Getty OneConnect.
