In addition, in 2005, Verizon Wireless had the industry’s lowest percentage of customers who disconnected their service, an important indicator of customer loyalty.

“We are honored to be recognized again as one of the top training organizations in the U.S.,” said Martha Delehanty, vice president - Human Resources for Verizon Wireless. “The knowledge and skills of Verizon Wireless employees are a driving force in our ongoing success. We will continue to invest in programs that help our employees grow professionally and provide our customers with the level of service and support they have come to expect.”
