PEOPLE, WOMEN AND DIVERSITY OPPORTUNITY FOR CHANGE

WHAT THE FIGURES TELL US » In 2013, ASX reported that

women made up only 13.6% of transport company board directors, ranking 14th of 20 industries reported4 » Women are predominately

employed in support related roles, such as administration, human resources and finance5 » Throughout the industry as a

whole, there are approximately four times more male managers than female managers6. This is fairly consistent across the industry.

The Australian Logistics Council encourages you to participate in the ALC Diversity & Inclusion Summit, to be held in Melbourne on Wednesday 25 November 2015.

It is critical that the logistics industry reflects the community it serves.

ALC’s recent publication, People, Women and Diversity – Opportunity for Change, clearly outlines the task ahead and the work that needs to be done to build on the good work already underway by many leading logistics companies to develop greater diversity in the workplace.

The Summit reflects ALC’s commitment to ensure the logistics industry has the best possible talent working across all parts of the supply chain. At the event, we will map a series of strategies ALC will adopt to encourage and retain more women in the logistics industry, to widen the recruitment pool and help bring a new perspective to the industry.
