In addition to being an industry leader in network reliability and total customers, Verizon Wireless is a leader in the workplace. The company was named one of Working Mother magazine’s “100 Best Companies for Working Mothers” for the fourth consecutive year in 2004 --- the only wireless company to receive the honor. The annual list, published each October, recognizes corporations that offer programs and services that fulfill the needs of working mothers. According to the magazine, Verizon Wireless received this honor because of its healthy and accommodating working environment for women and its respect for employees. The Verizon Wireless workplace is built on the twin values of respecting employees and personal integrity. In outlining the Verizon Wireless credo in a speech to employees, Chief Executive Officer Denny Strigl said: “We respect and trust one another, communicating openly, candidly and directly since any other way is unfair and a waste of time…Anyone of us can deliver a view or idea to anyone else, and listen to and value another’s view regardless of title or level. Ideas live and die on their merits rather than where they were invented. We believe integrity is at the core of who we are. It establishes the trust that is critical to the relationships we have. We are committed to do the right thing and follow sound business practices in dealing with our customers, suppliers, owners, competitors and each other… We know our best was good for today. Tomorrow we’ll do better.”
