Making Strides for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Everyday Clearcover-ers demonstrate the strength of our teamwork. We are known for completing projects on time and consistently meeting and surpassing our goals while praising and supporting one another. Outside of our work-related projects, we often ban together and direct our efforts to support causes like the annual Movember fundraiser. In October, we continued this tradition and challenged Clearcover-ers to collectively raise $5,000 for the American Cancer Society during Breast Cancer Awareness Month

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.
