“We’re proud to exceed industry averages and to accelerate female career growth through programs such as Ryder’s Women Leadership Forum, which has supported the professional development of women leaders for more than a decade,” says Frank Lopez, chief human resources officer at Ryder, who leads the company’s overall diversity and inclusion initiatives.
More than 27,000 transportation professionals, including operations and human resources executives and professional drivers, evaluated Ryder’s nomination in an industry-wide vote.
“Organizations recognized on this impressive list have proven they are supportive of gender diversity by accommodating family and work balance; offering competitive compensation, benefits, and professional growth; and providing career advancement opportunities,” says Brian Everett, group publisher and editorial director of Redefining the Road. “Ryder is commended for earning this award.”
Earlier this year, two of Ryder’s leaders were recognized as part of WIT’s 2023 “Top Women to Watch in Transportation” for their significant career accomplishments as well as support of other women in the industry. Ryder also supports WIT’s scholarship program, which helps make technical training and education more affordable for women pursuing a career in transportation.
“It’s incredibly important to recognize companies who align with our mission here at WIT,” adds WIT President and CEO Jennifer Hedrick. “Ryder actively works to overcome barriers, proving that an inclusive, empowering workforce is possible.”
Ryder is regularly recognized for its industry-leading practices in recruitment and hiring of a diverse workforce to develop, promote, and retain the best talent to engage employees and embrace diversity to drive innovation.
“We are exceedingly proud to be an employer of choice,” says Lesley Kerr, Ryder’s vice president of human resources, who also serves on WIT’s board of directors. “Recognizing and appreciating diverse perspectives and experiences is essential to Ryder, and it’s critical to the ever-evolving transportation industry.”
