>>>Verizon Wireless challenges itself to
think creatively about how its products
and services can help those in need.
>>>One result of that thinking is the
HopeLine program. Under the program,
Verizon Wireless collects used cell
phones and refurbishes them for resale.
The proceeds benefit domestic violence
advocacy groups and buy phones for
survivors of domestic violence.
>>>Phones that can’t be resold are
recycled, benefiting the environment.
>>>As part of HopeLine, Verizon
Wireless makes available its own
human resource employees. They
volunteer their time to teach resume
writing and interviewing skills that
help survivors of domestic violence
find new jobs and achieve financial
independence.
>>>For Verizon Wireless, gifts to the
community extend beyond charity.
Equally important are the jobs that
the company creates for its workers,
who enjoy flexible scheduling and
other innovative benefits.

>>>Indeed, the company has been
recognized by Working Mother magazine
as one of the best companies for
working mothers. In addition, the
New Jersey Breastfeeding Task Force
commended Verizon Wireless for
being “breastfeeding friendly.”
>>>The company also seeks to
establish a culture in which employees
are encouraged to volunteer in
their communities and where executives
lead by example.
>>>Verizon Wireless serves 56.7 million
phone customers and employs
61,000 people.
