“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.”
