T06 – WOMEN IN SUPPLY CHAIN: THE JOURNEY
Each story has a journey. The Women in Supply Chain (WISC) initiative builds on the success of amazing women in the sector and continues to refine a path of discovery. The WISC journey began with a simple question: what do we know about the supply chain/logistics sector in the context of attracting, developing and retaining female talent? WISC is one element of a broad human resources strategy aimed at ensuring that supply chain/logistics can become a profession of choice. Please join us as we share stories along this journey.
