Trucking and transportation industry key and frontline positions are historically male-populated, but with women representing 50% of the population and nearly 14% of the trucker workforce, what can we do to change that?
Research and survey data suggest that safety on the job is a top concern women have when entering frontline transportation and trucking industry positions. Making equipment safe, encouraging more women to enter the industry to work together and build comradery, and ensuring women feel secure on the road at all times are realistic goals that can be implemented in organizations. These change management tactics will help attract more women to the transportation and trucking industry and solve ongoing recruitment and retention issues. Attend this session to:
