GIVE YOUR BEST - AND EXPECT THE BEST FROM OTHERS We have learned that success in telecommunications is a paradox: in an industry based on technology, people are the real value - and their efforts the only sustainable way to make a true difference.
[EACH DAY] We are fortunate to have an outstanding workforce at ALLTEL. We expect the best from our employees - and they give it. In return, we work hard to create an environment where our employees can achieve their full career potential. Though we demand accountability, we also reward performance, and we link individual motivation with a path to personal success. We also encourage respect for one another at every level of our organization because we understand that we must all work together to succeed in our business.
[IN 2002] ALLTEL processed more than 60,000 external job applications, a volume made possible by our on-line recruiting site. This Internet-accessible service allows anyone to view instantly open jobs at all ALLTEL locations; apply on-line; easily store and update their qualifications; and check on their application status. Employees can also refer friends and relatives to ALLTEL on-line or apply for open jobs they may be interested in themselves. This open door policy helps us retain good employees who want to grow professionally or pursue new career paths. Our goal with external candidates is not only to identify the best applicant for each job, but also to recognize that every individual who approaches us is either a current or a potential customer who should be treated with respect. Once applicants are hired, a similar emphasis on respect is an important part of ALLTEL's business culture.
