Bears, bikes and Barbies – oh my! This month, Veritiv teams in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Kentucky, Illinois, and California donated 1,000+ items to Toys for Tots, a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve. This program distributes new toys to help offset costs for families celebrating the holiday season. We are honored to have the opportunity to bring joy to children across the country. #GreatPlacetoWork #VeritivConnects #ToysforTots
For our #VeritivExperts series, we spoke with Jevill Yu, Senior Supply Chain Specialist in Shanghai, China who has worked for Veritiv for four years and is responsible for the supply chain management of a large Veritiv customer. “The key to a successful supply chain is to continuously deliver products in a timely manner,” Jevill said. “Due to COVID-19, we have faced many transportation challenges, but we do everything we can for our customers. Customer satisfaction is the goal of our unremitting efforts. I’ve learned a lot in this position and am proud to work at Veritiv.” #OneTeam #CustomerFocus
Veritiv employees from across the United States and Mexico gathered in Atlanta, GA for the first Veritiv Cultural Alliance training! With more than 115 Veritiv locations, our employees work all over the globe – from Alaska, to Mexico, to China. In order to ensure all employees feel engaged and included in our One Team culture, we launched the Veritiv Cultural Alliance, which designates at least one employee per location as a Culture Ally. These 130 Culture Allies spent three days soaking up all-things Veritiv culture, with presentations from Community Relations, DE&I, Talent Management, Corporate Communications, Continuous Process Improvement, and more! We are so excited to see how these “boots-on-the-ground” employees spread our people-focused culture even deeper into the organization. #OneTeam #Culture #EmployeeExperience
Employee engagement is a focal area at Veritiv. We like to maintain an authentic and current view of what life is like at work to attract quality talent to be co-workers. As we continued our focus on culture this past year, it showed externally with our Glassdoor company rating at 3.7. In addition, our CEO approval rating has increased to 91 percent. We’re also committed to improving our Indeed rating. It is up to 3.3 overall and 3.4 for Work/Life Balance (up from 2.71 in 2021), and we’re just getting started!

Veritiv is participating in an autonomous vehicle pilot program with Uber Freight and Aurora Innovation. The 18-wheeler will be moving Veritiv goods between two of our Texas locations in Carrollton and El Paso. We selected this route as it is an undesirable route for our drivers, because they like to stay local. We are proud to be at the forefront of testing this technology.

In our #VeritivExperts series, we caught up with Andrew Zhang, Quality Manager in Shanghai, China, responsible for the entire Asia Quality team.

Beyond that, we manage the overall customer quality relationship and work closely with customers to fully understand their business needs,” Andrew said. #OneTeam
Recently, Veritiv’s Mentorship Program launched internally. Mentorship plays a critical role in our career journeys as we evolve in our abilities, experiences, and aspirations. Mentors help guide people through career paths and provide valuable feedback. They become advocates and oftentimes friends. We are proud to have this program thriving! #Culture #Career #Leadership
We caught up with Shelley House, a Customer Experience Professional in Brooklyn Park, MN, who has been with Veritiv for 28 years. A major passion of hers is to work hard and always try to exceed the expectations of her customers. “Most of my customers are some of the best people I have had the privilege to work alongside. I work extremely hard to get things done for them and that it is done correctly,” Shelley said. “In customer service, we make decisions quickly and I always do what is best for the customer and Veritiv.” Our Customer Experience Professionals always know the best ways to help our customers! #VeritivExperts #OneTeam #CustomerService
We are kicking off our Fall 2022 Veritiv Leadership, Engagement and Advanced Development (LEAD) Program. In partnership with UGA Terry College of Business, these leaders are immersed in Business Strategy, Operational and Service Excellence, Leadership Skills Development, and Applied Projects. In addition to the knowledge and skills learned, powerful connections and collaborative relationships are being built. One of the activities planned was for the LEAD cohort to complete 160 comfort kits for the American Red Cross. Each kit includes deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, combs, toothbrush, toothpaste, tissues and more. The kits were donated to those affected by home fires. #VeritivExperts #LearningandDevelopment #careergrowth #careers
#NationalSTEMDay inspires children to explore and pursue their interests in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, half of the workforce are women, but less than a third of women hold jobs in STEM fields. In order to decrease the gender gap in STEM jobs, Veritiv sponsors Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta STEM Programming and is proud to give girls the power to invent their own future. #STEM #GirlScouts
