Hiring Across the Logistics Chain Within Major Global Companies Increased 20%

Although the logistics sector is still predominantly male, according to a study published in Transport Logistic, the hiring of women across the logistics chain within major global companies increased 20%.

This advancement already reflects in the percentage of women working in the sector. In 2020, there was a 229% increase in the volume of female hiring in logistics areas, according to research released by the recruitment platform Gupy. This indicates that the presence of women in the transportation market is consolidating, whether in strategic or operational areas.

Only in São Paulo, in 2022, there was a 61% increase in women hired in the Cargo Road Transportation sector, but the majority still concentrates in administrative areas, according to the São Paulo Cargo Transportation Institute (IPTC).

According to Priscila Palumbo, Senior Human Resources Manager at Overhaul in Brazil, a global risk management and logistics visibility company independent of devices, since 2020, women have increasingly gained space in the company. To give you an idea, four years ago, the group had only 19% women in its workforce; today it is 42%. “The supply chain sector has been adopting the necessary measures for greater female presence. Overhaul is an example of this, and we have invested in training, lectures, and actions to promote diversity, qualification, and development.”

Priscila further explains that selection processes prioritize skills and experiences, and that for hiring in some positions, the selection is done blindly; that is, the recruiter evaluates competencies without knowing the candidate’s gender. Still, the company saw a 121% increase in the number of women in the employee base over the past four years. “Women have proven to be more qualified, which is why they are conquering markets that were previously predominantly male and standing out. Here at Overhaul, for example, almost half of the leadership is female.”

Inclusion

This month, in celebration of International Women’s Day, Overhaul’s Operations Manager, Tatiana Leite, participated in “Chat with Them” and shared her experience of 23 years working in the supply chain. She shares that with a lot of dedication, she managed to grow and achieve recognition. However, according to her, one of the main challenges at the beginning of her career was the lack of female representation in leadership positions and professional development opportunities for women. “I also faced prejudices and gender stereotypes that often prevented me from being taken seriously or being considered for certain projects or positions.”

But none of this stopped her from continuing to believe in the power of women. And today, she is reaping the results. “Companies are recognizing the importance of having a diverse workforce and creating policies and programs to support diversity and inclusion. In addition, more women are taking on leadership positions and being recognized for their abilities and competencies, regardless of gender.”

For the future, Tatiana hopes that women in the supply chain will continue to support each other and create support networks and mentoring programs. “It is important for women to share experiences and knowledge to help each other grow professionally, because together we can create a more inclusive and diversified sector for all.”
