GLOBE

Uplifting, celebrating and empowering the Black community at Gilead

GLOBE's Mission

Gilead Leadership Organization of Black Employees (GLOBE)  is committed to:

Creating a sense of community
Enhancing professional development
Contributing innovative ideas and assisting the organization in achieving its overall business impact

I have always felt that Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are an integral part of every corporation. They create space for cross-functional collaboration and networking on projects that enrich company culture. ERGs also offer a platform to showcase individual backgrounds and celebrate diverse cultures.

I joined Kite/Gilead in 2023 as a remote employee, and working remotely can present challenges when it comes to building networks. For me, GLOBE has been a bridge—connecting me with colleagues not only within my function and geographic area, but across the country and beyond Legal.

Taking on a leadership role as one of GLOBE’s communications co-chairs has helped me grow soft skills that I wouldn’t typically use in my day-to-day legal work. GLOBE and other ERGs build unexpected bridges across Gilead, and they truly enhance the employee experience.

Domestic and International Recruitment & Career Development

International and local GLOBE Chapters are actively advancing talent acquisition and career growth across the organization. Through participation in career fairs, networking events and workshops, chapters have recruited emerging talent and supported them in navigating their professional journeys. In addition, chapters have established and sustained coaching and mentoring programs designed to empower all employees and foster long-term career development within the organization. 

Giving Back to the Community

Every year, our employee resource groups select nonprofit organizations to support with a 2:1 matching campaign as part of our corporate Giving Together program. Recent beneficiaries have focused on Black wellness, college counseling, menstrual education and cultural change.

Juneteenth Celebration

Juneteenth is one of GLOBE’s largest events of the year. Gilead and Kite sites across the U.S. honor the national holiday with inspiring speakers and musical performances celebrating African American culture and heritage. GLOBE’s Juneteenth celebration of growth, empowerment and cultural pride brings together allies across the organization to highlight the achievements of our Black community and ways in which we can support one another.
