50. Diversity Strengths: Verizon's commitment to diversity starts with Chairman and CEO Ivan Seidenberg, who gets a near-perfect score on our CEO Commitment criteria. He meets regularly with the company's 10 employee-resource groups , which are critical to Verizon's success. Employee groups have existed at this company for more than 10 years and are funded by Verizon, with meetings during the workday and the support in each group of a designated senior executive. Seidenberg also personally reviews Verizon's diversity scorecard -- 17 key diversity metrics -- on a quarterly basis. The company's commitment to its employees is evidenced by its pipeline of talent. Thirty-nine percent of its managers are Black, Asian, Latino or Native American. Its managers are retained at almost equal rates across race/ethnicity and gender. Verizon is focused on casting a wide net when recruiting. Once at Verizon, employees receive robust professional and career development resources from formal mentoring opportunities to leadership development training. In 2007, Verizon invested more than $370 million in tuition assistance and developmental training for its employees.
