Growing Livelihood Opportunities for Women

Roadmap to Gender Equity for Last-Mile Delivery Operations

Logistics companies can implement 17 low-cost interventions to improve gender equity in their last-mile delivery operations​
GLOW’s 18-month roadmap to gender equity for logistics companies

Why should logistics companies aim to improve gender equity in last-mile delivery operations?

  • Access to a large pool of additional candidates
  • Lower absenteeism
  • Improved brand perception among customers
  • Improved work culture

Why do last-mile delivery operations have low gender diversity today?

  • Low priority given to hiring women
  • Limited capability to hire women
  • Inability to find women who know how to drive and have two-wheelers
  • Low ability to retain women

How can logistics companies make last-mile operations more gender-equitable?

  • Build the organization’s capability: Train recruiters and managers on how to hire and retain women
  • Demonstrate commitment: To increase motivation of recruiters and managers, start recognizing and rewarding recruiters and managers prioritizing gender equity
  • Enhance working conditions: To retain women, explore modifying the role and strengthening infrastructure
