women in the trucking industry
BANNOCKBURN,
Ill., Oct. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Stericycle,
Inc. (Nasdaq: SRCL), a leading provider of regulated medical waste
management and secure information destruction solutions, announced
today that it has been recognized as a "Top Company for Women to
Work for in Transportation" by the Women In Trucking (WIT)
Association for the third year in a row. This annual award
recognizes companies that are exceptional workplaces for women in
all roles of the trucking industry. Stericycle was also listed this
year among the top 30 companies with the highest number of industry
votes, leading to the additional recognition of "The Elite 30."
Stericycle champions a culture where women can
grow, lead and support others by dedicating resources to assist and
retain women through employee engagement and outreach, including
the company's employee resource group, Women's Resource for Impact,
Success and Empowerment (WRISE). WRISE provides an environment
where Stericycle women and allies are heard and encouraged and have
development opportunities in a global community that supports
curiosity, diversity and inclusion. Additionally, Stericycle hosts
an annual International Women's Summit, uniting women in
motivational career and personal development discussions.
Stericycle also remains committed to increasing
representation within the organization. Globally in 2022, the
company increased its percentage of women in senior and middle
management roles to 30% and 33%, an increase from 29% and 30%
respectively. Furthermore, the percentage of all U.S.-based new
hires from racially or ethnically diverse groups increased from
2021 to 2022. Thirty percent of Stericycle's corporate board
is currently comprised of female directors, exceeding the national
average for female-held board seats.
"It's an honor to be recognized once again as a
top company for women to work for in transportation," said
Cindy J. Miller, president and chief
executive officer at Stericycle. "I'm proud of Stericycle's
commitment to elevate trucking and logistics as great industries
where women can build and grow their careers while also fostering a
culture where all team members feel like they belong."
There are several characteristics that
distinguish the companies recognized on this list, including gender
diversity, flexible hours and work life balance, competitive
compensation and benefits, training and continued professional
development, and career advancement opportunities. To win the
award, eligible companies are nominated and then reviewed. The
final ballot was voted on by more than 27,000 professionals in
transportation, an increase of 5,000 from the previous year. The
2023 list includes 113 companies.
In addition to this recognition, Stericycle was

having three or more women on its corporate board of directors.
