Chelsey Reynolds on Atomic Habits and Jumping into Supply Chain
One of the major drivers of Women In Supply Chain™ is Let’s Talk Supply Chain’s commitment to supporting bridging the gender gap in the industry. And it isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s a smart investment for a business landscape hallmarked by uncertainty and yes, the more-than-occasional chaos. Research shows that having more Women In Supply Chain™ can empower more curiosity and agility—helping organizations meet and exceed business milestones with breakthrough performance.
According to IBM, organizations that focus on gender inclusion and promote the advancement of female professionals boast significant results:
- 73% lead their industry in customer satisfaction scores
- 60% report being more innovative than competitors
- 61% enjoy higher revenue growth than other organizations
- 50% higher profits are reported by employers that have more women in leadership positions in comparison with others that do not
And, even while mass layoffs are reported each month across tech and other sectors, (more than 800,000 last month in tech alone), supply chain leaders are still facing ongoing talent and labor shortage challenges. The continual talent shortage has been a source of regular delays and price hikes. By having meaningful dialogues to close the diversity gap in logistics and supply chain, you can drive faster business growth. Making more opportunities visible to newcomers—women included—is more critical than ever.
At Let’s Talk Supply Chain, we’re fiercely dedicated to closing the supply-chain gender gap by recognizing women logistics leaders making bold moves and big career wins. Every month our Women In Supply Chain™ blog series highlights the unstoppable, up-and-coming, and veteran female trailblazers who are forever changing the logistics and manufacturing industry—for the better. Let’s Talk Supply Chain shares the obstacles women leaders continuously face, how they lift each other up, and ways they are ushering business transformation across their organizations.
Women In Supply Chain™ blogs explore everyday obstacles women supply chain leaders navigate behind the scenes. We celebrate their breakout personal and professional achievements and the beginnings that positioned them for their latest breakthroughs, igniting change across the global supply chain. In our Women In Supply Chain™ blog series, we hear from global trailblazers about unexpected beginnings, stories, challenges they’ve overcome, and the supply chain career advice they have for their peers.
This month we’re proud to highlight Chelsey Reynolds, the Vice President of Revenue at Envase Technologies. With a Master of Business Administration MBA from LSU Shreveport and a Bachelor’s in Global Studies from Trinity College, she has put her knowledge to work solving internal operations and customer challenges. We applaud Chelsey as one of the female leaders we’ve recognized who recently broke into supply chain.
