Powerwomen in the picture!
Every day, our DHL women dedicate themselves to keeping our Big Yellow Machine running. We are so grateful to them for who they are and what they do. On 8 March, it was International Women’s Day, with the theme ‘Embrace Equity’. So it seemed like the perfect time to honour them.
We launched a call asking colleagues to nominate their Powerwomen. Who do they consider to be Powerwomen? Why do these women deserve to get a shout-out? The level of enthusiasm among our people was high.
An overwhelming amount of nominations!
What an overwhelming amount of nominations! So many women nominated. Fully justified too if you ask us. So the independent jury had a tough task to choose a number of winners. But as with any competition, only a few could effectively walk away with the medal.
The women below stood out, according to the judges. Their gift? A dinner with our female SMT team.
Chantal Vanbeselaere, Nele Vounckx, Sandy Sweelssen,Tess Lootens, Vera Dedulle, Jill Vandepitte, Nancy Van den Bosch, Annika Kindermans, Annelore Cloet, Kirina Van den Abeele, Sofie Van Eycken, Sofie Van Soest, Valery Vander Elst, Cloe Van Pellecon, Wendy De Boeck, Canissia Vervaeke, Valerie Delgrosso, Karine Van Ounsen, Gudrun Demeye, Brenda Noels.
So many amazing ladies around me!
“I was especially super surprised!” Says Jill Vandepitte – Customer Experience Manager. “I didn’t expect it at all, partly because I only started at DHL a few months ago and partly because there are so many amazing ladies around me who are worthy of the title of Power Woman. It is a really pleasant, heartwarming message that my colleagues already appreciate me after this short period. Just joy and positive vibes!”
