Employee Resource Groups

At Verizon, employees can foster professional and personal growth through any number of programs including through 10 employee resource groups formed by employees with common interests. Employees organize and manage the groups, which provide networking, mentoring, special initiatives, seminars and conferences for members.

In addition, the groups assist the company with strategic business goals such as employee development, diversity awareness and recruitment efforts. Because of their volunteer work with civic organizations, diverse employees also educate the company about issues that concern diverse communities.
