Participate in the 2021 Recognition Program

 

PURPOSE

The purpose of the Diversity & Inclusion Index recognition program is to standardize best practices on broadening diversity within the trucking industry. This will be achieved through sharing best practices both from within the industry as well as those that can be applied from others. Best practices and statistics will be collected from fleets participating in the WIT D&I recognition program and the results will be published at the conclusion of the program.

OBJECTIVES

  • Recognize fleets that are successfully providing an inclusive workplace
