New Hamburg, ON, November 3^rd – The Erb Group has been recognized as a 2023 “Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation” by Redefining the Road, the official magazine of the Women In Trucking Association (WIT). The organization’s mission is to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, promote their accomplishments, and minimize the obstacles they face. There are a number of characteristics that distinguish companies recognized on this list, according to Brian Everett, Group Publisher and Editorial Director of Redefining the Road magazine. These characteristics include corporate cultures that foster gender diversity, accommodation of family and work-life balance, offering competitive compensation, benefits, and professional growth; and providing career advancement opportunities. Identifying the companies on this list involves a two-step process, said Everett. First, nominations of the companies are received and carefully reviewed to ensure they qualify by meeting a minimum threshold of qualifications. Then, the final ballot of companies is voted on by individuals industry-wide. This is the sixth year of this prestigious recognition program, and it garnered more than 27,000 votes to identify the final companies named to the list. The momentum of this program has continued to accelerate since it was first launched.

C’est pourquoi nous sommes ravis de mettre en vedette les entreprises qui déploient des efforts stratégiques dans le but d’attirer et de retenir une main-d’œuvre féminine », explique Everett. « Ces entreprises méritent ce titre en raison de leurs grands efforts. »
