At Verizon, diversity means recognizing what we all share in common, embracing differences and promoting an inclusive organization that values a wide range of perspectives. Our diversity enables us to better understand the needs of our customers, suppliers and communities. It’s smart business and it’s the right thing to do.
A few more examples:
- For company business, Verizon will use facilities, sponsor events or maintain memberships only at business or organizations that do not have exclusionary membership practices.
- Verizon mentoring and development programs include the Black Managers Leadership Development Workshop, Hispanic Managers Leadership Development Workshop and the Women’s Leadership Workshop to help employees succeed in the workplace.
- Verizon’s Diversity Leadership Institute helps diverse employees, including minorities and women, sharpen leadership skills as well as identify and achieve career goals.
There is more information on celebrating who we on page 34 of the 2010/2011 Corporate Responsibility report. I hope you’ll download the full report and take a look, then share your thoughts below.
