Member Spotlight: Verizon Initiative Supporting Women

Verizon has announced Verizon Women’s CoLab, a new effort to support women amid the current crisis of women leaving the workforce at unprecedented rates. The initiative, which will launch later this year, will span support for Verizon’s key stakeholders – customers, employees and society at large. A recent survey by Morning Consult, commissioned by Verizon, stressed that women are leaving the workforce as a result of burnout due to the pandemic and having to juggle additional home-life responsibilities. As part of the platform, Verizon Business will launch mentorship networks, free resources and training aimed at supporting women small business owners and entrepreneurs. Verizon’s focus on supporting women includes a powerful social media campaign–#WomenOwnWednesday. Learn more>>
