The Diversity Award recognizes businesses which strategically promote age, gender and other forms of diversity in their work teams and contribute to a positive perception of diversity in the corporate sector.
“The profession of a truck driver is not a male privilege. As is the case in other industries, modern technology facilitates greater participation of women. With that in mind, we decided to focus our annual recruitment campaign on women. Our experience with the women drivers who have been with us for a long time shows that women, with their way of doing things, can help resolve situations and bring new experience to the business. We also pay women the same as we do their male colleagues and women enjoy equal treatment in all respects. We are proud to have come third in such a competitive field of entries,” said Aleš Willert, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors, C.S.CARGO.
Approximately 70 companies entered more than 100 projects and strategies in the competition. For more see www.topodpovednafirma.cz
