GIRARD, Ohio – Aim Transportation Solutions has been named a Top Company for Women to Work in Transportation by Redefining the Road, the official magazine of the Women in Trucking Association.
Aim is one of only 134 companies selected for the honor. The company was selected because of several characteristics, including a corporate culture that supports gender diversity, competitive pay and benefits, flexible scheduling and work policies and opportunities for professional development and career advancement, a news release states.
To qualify, Aim also had to meet the standards set by the WIT Index, a key industry measure that tracks the percentage of women in essential transportation roles.
“At the end of the day, the transportation business is a people business, and we’ve always been about family values and supporting our people in reaching their fullest potential,” said Scott Fleming, president of Aim Transportation Solutions. “We’re proud and honored to receive this recognition as it highlights our continuous efforts to build an environment where everyone, especially women, can grow and thrive in transportation. We’re committed to not only opening doors but ensuring lasting, meaningful careers.”
For the past three years, Aim has held a Women in Transportation Discussion Panel coinciding with Women’s History Month in March. The virtual roundtable brings together a group of women who carry out vital roles in the industry to discuss the importance of women in the commercial transportation industry and to address key challenges and opportunities facing women in the field.
“Being named a Top Company for Women to Work in Transportation is a tremendous honor and reflects the supportive, inviting culture that has always made Aim a great place to have a rich, rewarding career,” said Jessica Deane, vice president of marketing at Aim. “Having been with Aim for 15 years, I’ve experienced firsthand the support and opportunities for growth that are available here, and I’m proud to be part of an organization that values and promotes the contributions of women across all areas of the company.”
