Driving Inspiration & Change: Alyssa Couvillon
There's no question that the women at The Erb Group have been an integral part of bringing the company to where we are today. Whether it comes to family, mentoring, leadership, or just being there when someone needs them, The Erb Group has an incredible team of females to help keep our operations running smoothly, and the team supported.
In honour of International Women's Day this year, we wanted to highlight our Senior Director of Human Resources, Alyssa Couvillon. Her contributions as a woman in a leadership role have significantly guided other women within our company and industry. She is an individual that not only women in our company look to for advice and mentorship but everyone here at The Erb Group.
We had the opportunity to sit down with Alyssa and talk about what it means to be a woman in this industry and what International Women's Day means to her.
Alyssa has a wide range of expertise when it comes to life and her career, having started working for a trucking school 20 years ago. She took this opportunity to learn how to drive a truck and gain some insight into a truck driver's life and the industry itself. On top of learning how to drive a truck, she also learned to double clutch, received her air brake endorsement, and went to skid school as well. This initiative to learn beyond her job requirements was all done in an effort to relate better with drivers and gain a deeper understanding of their experience. She said this has been extremely helpful throughout her career, from enrolling students to get their AZ licence to hiring drivers in companies and now being in Human Resources, where she needs to relate to drivers and what they do daily.
