FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and the world’s largest express transportation company, has been awarded the “Most Woman-Friendly Employer (Multi-National Company)” at the 19th Global Women in Leadership Economic Forum Awards ceremony, presented by H.E. Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri, UAE Minister of Economy.
FedEx was recognized for its commitment to encouraging workplace diversity and retaining and promoting women.
Nathalie Amiel-Ferrault, vice president, Customer Experience and Marketing, FedEx Express Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa (MEISA), accepted the award on behalf of the company.
“Diversity and inclusion are essential components of our corporate culture, and ingrained in the way we work every day,” said Amiel-Ferrault. “FedEx strongly believes that the capacity for a team member to be successful goes beyond gender, nationality, or race. With an unbiased view towards individuals, we have been able to develop a workplace in which every team member has an equal opportunity to thrive. We would like to thank the Global Women in Leadership Economic Forum for recognizing our efforts in enabling women to flourish in our company.”
FedEx follows a People-Service-Profit (P-S-P) operating philosophy, which is based on the belief that a positive working environment will encourage team members to deliver outstanding service to customers, who will in turn reward them with profits they can reinvest in their future and people. The company’s workplace values and ethics have led it to be ranked as a Great Place to Work in the UAE for seven consecutive years and one of the world’s most admired companies.
