Crowley Named Top Company for Women in Transportation
Crowley has been named a 2021 Top Company for Women to Work For in Transportation by Redefining the Road, the official magazine for Women in Trucking Association (WIT).
As an honoree, Crowley embodies characteristics that distinguish the award-winning companies: corporate cultures that foster gender diversity; competitive compensation and benefits; flexible hours and work requirements; professional development opportunities; and career advancement opportunities.
As a global company, Crowley offers multiple career and leadership development programs that encourage professional growth while supporting work-life balance. In addition, Crowley’s IDEA Council (Inclusion, Diversity and Equity in Action) researches, develops and proposes actions that create a supportive and inclusive work environment where people are empowered to succeed.
These include employee resource groups (ERG), which are voluntary, employee-led groups that provide developmental guidance and encourage an inclusive workplace that is aligned with the company’s values, core competencies, and goals. In addition, the company has consistently been a leader in supporting people’s careers and lives, including offering paid parental/guardian leave among elite levels in the U.S.
“At Crowley, women are empowered and encouraged to lead despite transportation being historically male-dominated,” said Stephanie Johnson, director of operations integrity, Crowley Logistics. “Our company provides opportunities for contribution and leadership with a commitment to equity and inclusion. I’m proud to work at Crowley and encourage other women to grow in their career with Crowley.”
The magazine created the award in 2018 to support the WIT’s mission to promote the accomplishments of companies that are focused on the employment of women in the trucking industry.
