Werner Enterprises (Nasdaq: WERN), a premier transportation and
logistics provider, is honored to be named among the 2023 “Top
Companies for Women to Work For in Transportation” by the Women in
Trucking (WIT) Association’s Redefining the Road magazine. Werner
has earned this recognition in all six years it has been
awarded.
WIT's Top Companies for Women to Work for in Transportation
award evaluates companies based on a comprehensive survey assessing
recruitment approaches, workplace culture, retention efforts and
professional development opportunities. Werner was recognized for
its dedication to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where
women receive the support they need to thrive. More than 27,000
transportation professionals participated in an industry-wide vote
to determine the list.
"We take great pride in being recognized as a Top Company for
Women for the sixth year in a row because it celebrates our
unwavering commitment to promoting and creating opportunities for
women in the industry,” said Werner’s Chairman, President and CEO,
Derek Leathers. “Our number of female professional drivers, 16%, is
more than double the national average and we are focused on
fostering a safe and inclusive environment at all stages of their
careers.”
Werner has been at the forefront of advocating for women in the
transportation industry, launching several initiatives aimed at
supporting women over the years. Its internal Women’s Leadership
Alliance was founded in 2011 and offers professional development
opportunities, networking and various events for associates. Werner
also has specialized teams that play a crucial role in outreach and
industry representation, such as its Road Team Captains, Operation
Freedom Drivers, and Driver Ambassadors, which are comprised of
both women and men.
ReedTMS Logistics, a subsidiary of Werner since November of
2022, also received this prestigious recognition. The complete list
