Honoring World Pride Month: Advocating for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Plus (LGBTQ+) coworkers

This June, as the world marks World Pride Month, Clarivate is joining the celebration by hosting all its Pride activities virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. SPECTRUM, the global colleague resource group for LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies at Clarivate, is at the forefront of these initiatives.

SPECTRUM is not exclusive to members of the LGBTQ+ community but welcomes allies too. It encourages everyone to play a part in creating an inclusive environment. Alexandra Adams, the Global Allies Leader within SPECTRUM, emphasises the importance of allies in fostering a supportive community.

Alexandra joined Clarivate in 2018 and leads a global HR team for the intellectual property group. She encourages any Clarivate colleagues that are thinking about getting involved as an ally to reach out to one of the global chapter leads or herself.

The growth of SPECTRUM within Clarivate is evident, with new chapters springing up across the globe. This global initiative is a testament to Clarivate's focus on diversity and inclusion. The support for diversity and inclusion comes from the executive level, with the Chief HR Officer Andrea Degutis and CEO Jerre Stead being executive sponsors of SPECTRUM.

Clarivate colleagues from offices around the world are getting involved using electronic tools. They are encouraged to step forward as allies during Pride Month, providing a great platform to show support in the community.

As SPECTRUM continues to grow, it invites anyone with an interest, regardless of whether they are part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, to join and make a difference. A great ally is open to listening and critical in speaking up against harmful activity.
