DACHSER India has been awarded “Best Organization Supporting Women Empowerment 2021” at the Indian Business Women Awards 2021, organized by Morpheus Enterprises. This award is in recognition of DACHSER India’s active role in implementing policies to create an empowering workplace for women.

DACHSER India: Best Organization Supporting Women Empowerment 2021

On March 19, 2021, the fourth edition of the Indian Business Women Awards was held virtually with COVID protocols in place. In this edition of the awards conference, participants came together to discuss various key topics such as “Survive, Revive, and Thrive Post-Covid Era”, “The Art of Adaptability”, and “Best Leadership Distinction”.

With the goal of educating, motivating, and challenging Indian women to lead change in their lives, communities, and the world, the Indian Business Women Awards recognized 28 award categories this year. Organizers invited participants from various organizations to nominate leading members and groups for these awards to celebrate and inspire women’s empowerment initiatives across India.

Nominees and participants came from a diverse range of professions, including various accomplished women representing the upper echelons of fields ranging from armed forces, business, pharmaceutical research and development, IT, and more.

Giving opportunities for women especially in leadership positions

DACHSER India was nominated in the category “Best Organization Supporting Women Empowerment 2021”. DACHSER India submitted a detailed case study of the company’s rising proportion of women representatives, especially in leadership positions. The study reveals this exceptional growth to be the result of a fair and gender-neutral hiring process and strong worker retention rates driven by a management approach that takes an active and leading role in cultivating an inclusive working environment.

After reviewing case studies from the various nominees, the panel announced DACHSER India as the winner of the “Best Organization Supporting Women Empowerment 2021” award. The panel recognized DACHSER India’s strong track record in providing flexible work policies, maintaining the absence of glass ceilings, supporting holistic development of all employees, and proactively ensuring all employees are heard.

 

Huned Gandhi, DACHSER’s Managing Director of Air & Sea Logistics Indian Subcontinent, accepted the award on behalf of the company through a video message relay.

“Congratulations to the empowered women at DACHSER for their significant contributions towards the success of the company”, he commended.

“Women at DACHSER are today involved in strategic decision making and work closely with our customers to provide logistics solutions to help them manage their global supply chains efficiently.”

The award represents a proud moment for all employees, especially the women, of DACHSER India who have been the pillars of the company’s success. It also affirms DACHSER India’s continued commitment to actively promoting gender equality in the workplace.

Coronavirus: updates on DACHSER’s operations in China

The Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia recently spread rapidly in China and many cities and provinces have confirmed cases. In order to keep the epidemic under control, the Central Government has announced the extension of the Lunar New Year holiday to February 2. Local authorities, however, have requested enterprises in that region to not have their employees return to the office until a specific later date, mostly on February 10.

DACHSER Branches

Most of the DACHSER branches will officially re-open on February 10. Starting from Monday next week, February 3, depending on cities and permissions from local authorities, skeleton staff will be arranged to enter the office building to manage critical shipments and minimize impact like detention, demurrage fee, TLX release and etc. We regret that we could not provide full operations but will try out best to maintain basic services.

The date for re-opening is changing on a daily basis and is subject to change depending on the situation. As of today, January 31, 2020, the re-opening date of each branch is as follows:

  • Beijing: Feb-03
  • Chengdu: Feb-03

Operations in Wuhan

DACHSER’s staff from Wuhan branch will work from home and part of the operations will be handled via our Shanghai team. Hubei Province Authorities announced that customers will need to apply transportation certificate from the local government and hand in the certificate to logistics company if they wish to have shipment to enter or exit the province by trucks.

General business in China

While we are trying our best to keep the operation as smooth as possible, please note that most of the factories in China are still closed; trucking services, flights and terminals are operating at minimum service level. Delays and other operational issues are to be expected.

We will continue to update you via our website with the latest information on how this is impacting your supply chain. Should you have any concerns and/or queries, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative.
