Positive change is happening in the traditionally male-dominated supply chain industry with more women stepping into leadership roles. However, persistent challenges such as underrepresentation, unconscious bias, work-life balance issues, safety concerns, and pay inequity hinder women’s progress in the field. Despite these challenges, its important to achieve gender parity not just for moral reasons but also to unlock potential and drive innovation and growth in the industry.
Mentorship and community support are effective approaches to empowering women in the workplace, with mentors playing a crucial role in preparing the next generation of leaders and events providing platforms for networking and recognition. To enhance female representation, it’s important to raise awareness, break stereotypes and invest in education and skill development to make strides  towards a supply chain that empowers women.
