On today’s Up to Speed, Andy hears storm updates from Chris Sanders and learns about our Diversity Representation Report and social justice updates from Christy.
Network update
Chris Sanders from our Verizon Response team and Enterprise Sales Operations updated us on how we’re responding to Hurricane Sally, keeping the safety and connectivity of our customers and first responders top of mind.
Diversity Representation Report
We heard from Chief HR Officer Christy Pambianchi, who shared our June 2020 Diversity Representation Report, a comprehensive overview of who makes up the V Team. The report captures the diversity of our workforce and acknowledges the work that needs to be done to drive greater diversity and inclusion across teams and at all levels.

The staycation continues, this time from the land down under in Australia. Andy talked to travel YouTubers Kara and Nate Buchanon, who gave us an inside look into the beautiful scenes of Australia from the Sydney Harbour to the Great Barrier Reef. We also got to hear from Indie Pop band Glades, who closed out the episode with great music and a love for their Australian roots.
