Growing Livelihood Opportunities for Women

Roadmap to Gender Equity for Warehouse Operations

Logistics companies can implement 14 low-cost and low-risk interventions to improve gender equity in their warehouse operations
GLOW’s 18-month roadmap to gender equity for warehouse companies

Why should logistics companies aim to improve gender equity in warehouse operations?

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

Why do warehouse operations have low gender equity today?

  • Low priority given to hiring women
  • Limited capability to hire women
  • Unfavorable government regulations
  • Low capacity to invest in infrastructure

How can logistics companies make warehouse operations more gender-equitable?

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