Verizon releases its first-ever Human Capital Report

Published

on

NEW YORK, April 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Verizon today released its first-ever Human Capital Report, outlining the company’s commitment to attract the best talent, develop its employees to their full potential and inspire employees to build their careers at Verizon. 

The report provides a blueprint for how Verizon keeps its more than 133,000 employees around the world engaged in an increasingly competitive labor market. It also focuses on how it is building on past successes to upskill its V Team to continue to lead in the age of 5G technology and beyond.

“Building a more connected world requires the full support of our greatest asset—our people,” said Christy Pambianchi, Verizon’s Chief Human Resources Officer. “Our first Human Capital Report shows the depth and breadth of our ongoing commitments to attract and develop the best talent that will help us deliver on our priorities and translate directly into growth.”

While COVID-19 served as a catalyst for workplace transformation, it also paved the way for Verizon’s future of work strategy, called Work Forward, to rethink the intersection between technology, people and place by applying learnings and V Team feedback from last year. In addition to work location and spaces, this also includes the tools and resources required to elevate the company’s productivity, collaboration and growth. Many of these changes will continue beyond the end of the pandemic.

Attracting the Best Talent

As the company sets out to build and power the future, it’s important to attract and retain employees who see the impossible and make it inevitable. Verizon’s CEO and executive leadership team set the tone at the top to provide a strong focus on the strategic workforce plan, diversity and culture at the company. As of the latest term ending on December 31, 2020:

  • 50% of Verizon Board members were women or racially/ethnically diverse.
  • 50% of Verizon’s executive leadership team were women or racially/ethnically diverse.

At all levels, Verizon focuses on recruiting a diverse workforce through multiple channels, including robust strategies for campus and military hiring and nontraditional talent pipelines. In 2020, Verizon expanded its partnership with historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and designed a new HBCU executive engagement program. The company also hired more than 400 veterans through various programs and partnerships, and created an apprentice program to reskill and prepare people from underserved communities who are unemployed, underemployed, or need to learn new skills for the jobs of the future.

Powering the Future with Transparency

To create the networks that move the world forward, the V Team has access to world-class resources to maximize their growth potential and remain competitive. Verizon supports their professional development through continuous skill-building that keeps pace with the dynamic changes occurring throughout the company and larger industry.

Verizon invested $203.6 million in curated learning and development opportunities in 2020 alone. The company offers extensive training across sales and customer service, as well as critical data and technical skills, including data science, 5G technology and artificial intelligence. Verizon plans to continue its robust program this year, including training and upskilling efforts for 100,000 employees to ensure team members are ready to keep pace with ever-changing demands of building the future.

“The past twelve months have been a period in our company’s – and world’s – history that we’ll never forget,” said Pambianchi. “But the events in recent months have also taught us that open, honest communication is critical. That’s why we are releasing our Human Capital report and opening our doors on how we care and support our employees. While there’s always work to be done and room to improve, we’re proud of the efforts we invested to drive greater equity, engagement and purpose throughout our workforce.”

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) was formed on June 30, 2000 and is one of the world’s leading providers of technology, communications, information and entertainment products and services.

“Harnessing Energy Management for Sustainability and Efficiency”
Data centers are pivotal infrastructures in the digital transformation era, consuming up to 50 times more energy than typical commercial spaces. This energy demand positions data centers as key contributors to the U.S.’s overall electricity consumption. Recognizing this, implementing building energy management systems (BEMS) is crucial in mitigating the environmental impact and operational costs associated with data centers. BEMS optimizes cooling systems to prevent equipment overheating, thereby enhancing energy efficiency by leveraging real-time data. Such systems reduce the power usage effectiveness (PUE) ratio, highlighting a move toward more sustainable consumption patterns and ensuring data centers’ operational continuity. Integrating seamlessly with existing infrastructure, BEMS offers a comprehensive approach to energy management, enabling more innovative cooling, efficient power usage, and predictive maintenance. This transition highlights a commitment to environmental responsibility and fosters operational efficiency, setting a new standard for data center operations worldwide.
“Revolutionizing Building Efficiency With Advanced Energy Management Systems Optimized Usage”
In push toward sustainability, building energy management systems (BEMS) stands at the forefront of innovation, integrating sophisticated hardware such as sensors, actuators, controllers, and more to manage and reduce energy consumption in buildings meticulously. These systems work in concert to monitor environmental conditions and adjust heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) settings in real time, leading to significant energy savings. BEMS provides valuable data that helps identify savings opportunities, while networking tools ensure seamless communication between devices by precisely tracking energy flow through meters. Servers process vast amounts of data, enabling detailed analysis and actionable insights to refine energy use further. Additionally, comprehensive services, including customized consultations and dedicated support, ensure that each BEMS is tailored to a building’s unique needs, providing efficient operation and extended system longevity.

Terra Drone, Unifly, and Aloft Launch UTM Development for AAM Targeting Global Markets

Published

on

terra-drone,-unifly,-and-aloft-launch-utm-development-for-aam-targeting-global-markets

TOKYO, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Terra Drone Corporation, a leading drone and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) technology provider headquartered in Japan, announced today the launch of joint development with its Group companies Unifly NV (“Unifly”) and Aloft Technologies Inc. (“Aloft”) focused on UAS Traffic Management (UTM) for AAMs targeting global markets. Terra Drone has been making strides in its pioneering UTM business via strategic investments in Unifly, a leading UTM technology provider based in Belgium, and Aloft, which has the top UTM market share in the U.S. This collaboration marks the world’s first-ever joint UTM development for AAMs by multiple companies with extensive track records in UTM implementation and operation.

The three companies pursue joint UTM development to capitalize on the rapid global progress in electric vertical take-off and landing aircrafts (eVTOLs), set to revolutionize transportation. Morgan Stanley forecasts the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market to reach $1 trillion by 2040 and $9 trillion by 2050 (1), with eVTOLs gaining global recognition through test flights and prototype showcases.
The companies proudly announce initiatives to enhance their existing UTM platforms in anticipation of the surge in eVTOL aircraft and drone activities. The shared vision for the UTM platform is to enable safe and efficient flight operations for eVTOLs and drones in the foreseeable future.
Recognizing the evolving needs of the AAM industry, they are dedicated to extending their platform by incorporating crucial additional functions. These enhancements, designed with automation at their core, aim to streamline operational efficiencies and pave the way for the integration of their increasingly automated UTM technology into the design and operational framework of AAMs. Through these efforts, they aim to set new standards in UTM and to facilitate the seamless integration of eVTOLs and drones into the national airspace, bolstering the potential for the AAM industry.
Through this initiative, they aim to build a global UTM infrastructure that kickstarts the AAM industry worldwide, creating a cohesive ecosystem that supports AAM growth and addresses broader challenges of urban mobility, sustainability, and air traffic safety.
