Women are not only employees in logistics but also strong leaders who shape the future of logistics. Women take initiative in every field in logistics, from technology to education and from leadership to innovation, and shape the sector. As Globelink Unimar, we put forward a motto for the sector on March 8, International Women’s Day: “Is logistics a man’s job? Not in our opinion!”
Women Shaping Logistics Technology Not Using It
Today, the logistics industry is at the heart of digitalization. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, automation and data analytics are completely changing operational processes and women are now at the center of this great transformation in the logistics industry. Women professionals, who used to only try to keep up with technology, are now among the architects of this transformation.
Women managers have become influential in many areas in logistics, from the establishment of technological infrastructures to process management. Women who develop digital solutions, especially in areas such as supply chain optimization, warehouse management and customer experience, carry out important projects that increase efficiency in the sector.
Women’s Leadership in Logistics Education: Paving the Way for the Next Generation
Training is an often overlooked area in logistics that can make a big difference. And women’s leadership here is becoming increasingly critical. Why? Because women are becoming the managers and even advocates of programs that will close the sector’s knowledge gap and train the next generation of logistics professionals.
Mentoring programs, career development projects and in-company trainings are especially important for bringing young female employees into the sector. In these processes, women are not only trainers but also a great source of inspiration for the new generation in the logistics industry.
What Do Women in the Logistics Industry Want to Change in the Industry?
Intense working hours and challenging operational processes in the logistics industry make it difficult for female employees to balance family and work life. Women especially demand the expansion of hybrid and flexible working models and more inclusive implementation of rights such as maternity and parental leave throughout the sector.
Adopting inclusive human resources policies, increasing flexible working opportunities and ensuring career equality between men and women are critical to overcoming the challenges in this area. In order for women to take a more active and sustainable role in the logistics industry, concrete steps need to be taken in these areas.
What Do We Do for Women as Globelink Unimar?
As Globelink Unimar, we prioritize projects that provide social benefit with the goal of a sustainable future. Education and development is not only a business strategy for us but also a part of our responsibility towards society. With this understanding, we make significant contributions to the education of young generations through our investments in the Turkish Education Foundation (TEV) scholarship fund.
Standing against established and even stereotypical norms in society, we take care to develop projects that emphasize the place and power of women in society. We are proud to be recognized as a “women-friendly brand” thanks to our high ratio of female employees and our sensitivity in this regard. With this approach, we prioritize women-focused activities both internally and in our external communication.
We believe in the role of sports in social development and offer sponsorship support with the confidence that especially our female athletes can represent our country successfully. This awareness, which extends from our marketing approach to our internal communication strategies, has become and will continue to be one of the cornerstones of Globelink Unimar’s culture.
