Clarivate: Setting the Course for Our Workplace of the Future

By: 3BL Media

SOURCE: Clarivate

DESCRIPTION:

A cultural and organizational transformation has begun at Clarivate, where every decision and every opportunity is approached with the assumption and mindset that the solution will better connect us through technology.

As the impact of COVID-19 spread across the globe in 2020 and most countries announced mandatory remote working directives, Clarivate quickly adapted and pivoted to a fully remote model. Our executive leadership team recognized that the nature of our business is driven by technology and innovation — and is significantly enhanced by our talented pool of knowledge workers. Despite managing through a lot of rapid change, we knew we were well positioned for success.

Our company and our team have thrived. We see that our business is resilient, our colleagues are focused and productive and we are
beginning to experience unprecedented success. A global colleague survey revealed that 74% enjoyed the new model of working from home (WFH). Based on this data and a robust set of diverse feedback, we have chosen to accelerate our connected workplace journey, ensuring that our business stays relevant, profitable and sustainable for years to come.
