Echo Global Logistics has once again been honored by the Women in Trucking Association (WIT), earning a spot on their 2024 list of Top Companies for Women to Work in Transportation. This marks the second consecutive year Echo has received this accolade, highlighting its unwavering commitment to supporting and empowering women within the transportation and logistics industry.
“Our strength as a company comes from the diversity within our team,” said Paula Frey, Chief Human Resources Officer at Echo. “We’re lucky to work alongside some of the most skilled, dedicated women in the logistics industry, and this recognition is a reflection of their hard work and contributions.”
Why Echo Stands Out Among Employers in Transportation
Echo’s recognition stems from its consistent efforts to foster a workplace rooted in gender diversity, equitable opportunities, and strong work-life balance. With competitive compensation, exceptional benefits, and a focus on professional development, Echo has cultivated an environment where women can not only succeed but thrive.
“Our people and our culture are what make Echo such a great place to work,” said Doug Waggoner, CEO of Echo Global Logistics. “We have a team that’s committed to pushing each other forward, advancing in their careers, and driving our shared success.”
Championing Inclusivity Through Action
Echo secured its place on the prestigious 2024 list through its proactive and impactful initiatives aimed at inclusivity. A standout feature of its approach is the company’s Business Resource Groups (BRGs)—employee-led programs designed to nurture support and empowerment within the workplace. Notably, the Women at Echo group focuses on driving gender equity, creating leadership opportunities, and cultivating professional growth for women across the organization.
A Commitment to Diversity and Growth
At the heart of Echo’s success lies its culture of inclusivity and a steadfast focus on employee development. By investing in its workforce and prioritizing diversity as a business imperative, Echo continues to strengthen its position as a top employer in the transportation industry.
Echo Global Logistics proves that inclusivity is more than just a buzzword—it’s a principle that drives innovation, collaboration, and success at every level of the company. This recognition further solidifies Echo’s dedication to creating a workplace that champions women, celebrates diversity, and promotes growth for all its employees.
