FedEx has been honored as a 2024 "Top Company for Women to Work in Transportation" by Redefining the Road, the official magazine of the Women In Trucking Association (WIT). WIT’s mission focuses on increasing women's participation in the trucking industry, celebrating their achievements, and addressing the challenges they encounter.

"FedEx, built on a foundation of people and service, is proud to support a diverse workforce that includes extraordinary women across a range of roles—drivers, freight handlers, leadership, and beyond," said Tracy Brightman, Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer at FedEx Corp. "Our commitment to gender diversity and equality is reflected in our investments in people, DEI&O programs, development initiatives, and policies that prioritize merit-based hiring and promotions."

The selection process for this recognition involves two stages. Companies are first nominated and assessed to meet specific qualifications, followed by industry-wide voting to finalize the list. Each year, WIT also highlights the “Elite 30” companies that receive the most votes, with FedEx earning a place among this prestigious group.

According to Brian Everett, Group Publisher and Editorial Director of Redefining the Road, companies on this list stand out for their commitment to fostering gender diversity, offering competitive pay and benefits, providing flexible work arrangements, and creating opportunities for professional growth and career advancement.
