Schneider business resource groups

Schneider associates have access to a variety of business resource groups (BRGs) that allow them to engage with others who share similar experiences and backgrounds. The goal of Schneider’s BRGs is to fulfill both individual and group goals that tie to business strategies and objectives.

Schneider Women's Network

Established in 2007, the Schneider Women’s Network was developed to position Schneider to attract, develop and retain the best talent for the overall purpose of maximizing business results. At the time, it was one of the first women’s networks within the transportation industry.

Schneider Women's Network events are open to all associates regardless of their gender or role within the organization. Some of the development opportunities offered to Schneider associates include:

• Accelerating professional development.
• Building relationships/networking within Schneider.
• Exchanging industry knowledge and experience.
