Approximately 22% of our company’s team members in North America are women. To embrace its culture of belonging, the company has a variety of Employee Resource Groups (ERG), such as Women’s Success Network and Women in Operations, which fosters a sense of community for its female colleagues. With a wide range of benefits such as maternity leave and emergency childcare benefits, the company nurtures the well-being of all employees.

Women make up more than 13% of our company’s drivers and 40% of leadership roles. This year, the organization also saw an increase in the number of women diesel technicians. We are dedicated to fostering a supportive environment and providing career advancement opportunities for women. Internal programs, like our Women’s Network BRG, and our external efforts, like participation in Women In Trucking, demonstrate our commitment to ensuring women’s success in this industry.

Example 1

Approximately 40% of our employees in critical supervisory roles are women – thus, ensuring our corporate culture is reflective of gender diversity. This is an increase of 25% in the last five years due to very intentional, strategic initiatives that inspire and encourage women to take on a meaningful role in our company.

Our organization also offers volunteer-based Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) which are critical in helping to drive a culture of diversity, inclusion and engagement, while fostering innovation and growth. One of these, the Women's Inclusion Network, aims to strengthen our culture and promote a work environment that attracts, retains, and develops women and creates a more inclusive organization. This ERG currently has 150 women participating, surpassing our goal for this last year by more than 10%. In addition, the mission of the Women of Color (WoC) Employee Resource Group is to assist the company in identifying strategies to increase representation, providing meaningful career development opportunities, and elevating Women of Color worldwide. This ERG currently has 85 women participating, surpassing our goal for this last year by approximately 15%.

Example 2

• Over the past 10 years, our company has increased the percentage of women in our workforce by approximately 8%. In turn, through this strengthening of gender diversity during this time period we’ve added three women to C-suite management roles, and promoted another 27% of women to supervisory roles in our various divisions. This progress demonstrates our company’s commitment to our specific goals to recruit and retain more women in critical roles within our organizational infrastructure – which ultimately brings more diverse thought, management and experience to leadership roles.
