"We want to empower employees to build a development plan and own their future at Verizon with the tools needed to succeed. It’s hard to ask employees to build their careers at Verizon if they don’t have visibility into what’s possible and the skills required. Talent GPS is a skills-based approach to roles that enables new pathways to employment by allowing nontraditional candidates to map out a career path based on their skills and experiences. Verizon’s future depends on great talent and our most important investment is our employees. We want the V Team to own and drive their careers."

Samantha Hammock

Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer
