Session I: Promoting Diversity & Understanding Generational Influence in the Trucking Industry

a) JaneJazwary–CarriersEdge(8:30am–9:15am)

Only 3% of professional drivers in Canada are women which represents a huge untapped resource. The transportation sector is now making a more concerted effort to attract and retain female drivers.

It takes a special mindset for women to succeed in trucking—one that allows them to see opportunities where others don’t, and one that allows them to deal with the harsh realities of working in a man’s world.

Jane will tell our members how to address this unique untapped resource.

Jane Jazrawy is CEO of CarriersEdge, and creators of Best Fleets to Drive For program. Jane has delivered education and performance improvement solutions to more than 2 million people at companies around the world, in industry sectors as diverse as transportation, mining, manufacturing, finance, hi-tech, retail and government services.

industry best practices in HR. She works closely with various associations, government departments and industry representatives to ensure employers have the skilled workforce needed for today and in the future.

Millennials are the demographic born between the early ‘80s and 2000s and they represent the largest workplace cohort since the Baby Boomer. Millennials are generally considered to be technologically savvy, community-minded, environmentally aware, and resourceful multitaskers.

Forward-thinking fleets want millennial employees, particularly as aging boomers approach retirement. By 2020, youth born in the 1980s and ‘90s will represent 40% of the Canadian workplace.
