Pride Month 2024: Spotlighting Sage Solace's Pride Month Celebrations

Solace, which provides a safe and supportive environment for LGBTQIA+ employees and allies while fostering understanding and acceptance, hosted a variety of celebratory and educational events and initiatives.

Each week throughout June, members of Sage Solace shared Pride-related history and facts, including a breakdown of each color of the Pride flag and its meaning. The group also hosted an interactive game of “Jeopardy” entirely centered around LGBTQIA+ trivia. Clearcover-ers were also encouraged to use customized Pride Month Zoom backgrounds for company meetings.

Clearcover's Employee Resource Group: Clearcover African American Network

Since Clearcover's Equity, Inclusion and Diversity Council (EIDC) launched Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) last year, Clearcover-ers across departments have created and joined spaces where they can interact with team members who share their common backgrounds or interests. The groups' Slack channels, which are open to anyone in the company, have quickly become sites of shared stories and photos, requests for advice, offers of support, and virtual large and small group meet-ups. Parents, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and women at Clearcover had all formed their own ERG's when Claims Manager Jerrell West recognized an opportunity for African American Clearcover-ers to have their own community.

Clearcover's Equity, Inclusion and Diversity Council

Clearcover values the vast array of backgrounds and viewpoints that our team members bring to the workplace. We know that the greater the variety of ideas and opinions that Clearcover-ers contribute to their projects, the more opportunities our company has for innovation and future successes. We also recognize that the potential for the sharing of ideas is optimized only when every single team member feels comfortable showing up as their full selves. In order to create an environment where all employees feel heard and respected, Clearcover formed the Equity, Inclusion and Diversity Council (EIDC). The mission of the EIDC is to ensure that all Clearcover-ers can be their complete selves at work and feel comfortable contributing to their greatest potential.
