Werner Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: WERN), a premier
transportation and logistics provider, is honored to be named among
the 2024 “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 seven 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 30,000
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 seventh year in a row because it highlights our
steadfast commitment to promoting and creating opportunities for
women in the industry,” said Werner’s Chairman 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 long been a leader in advocating for women in the
transportation industry, launching multiple initiatives to support
their growth and success. One of these is the Women’s Leadership
Alliance, founded in 2011, which provides professional development,
networking opportunities and events for associates. Werner also
empowers its outreach and industry representation efforts through
specialized teams such as the Road Team Captains, Operation Freedom
Drivers and Driver Ambassadors—comprised of both women and men.
Additionally, Werner's Vice President of Safety and Compliance,
Jaime Hamm, serves as Chair of the American Trucking Associations
(ATA) Safety Policy Committee, where she plays a pivotal role in
shaping policies to enhance industry safety and promote best
practices.
