The program will be held simultaneously in Japanese, English, and Chinese.

«Make the Invisible Visible»: la campaña de #BiasCorrect de Catalyst para el Día Internacional de la Mujer hace preguntas desafiantes

NUEVA YORK, 3 de marzo de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Catalyst celebra el Día Internacional de la Mujer 2021 desafiando a las compañías a unirse a su campaña global #BiasCorrect <a target="_blank"…

NUEVA YORK, 3 de marzo de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Catalyst celebra el Día Internacional de la Mujer 2021 desafiando a las compañías a unirse a su campaña global #BiasCorrect «Make the Invisible Visible» (Hacer visible lo invisible), que ofrece fondos de escritorio virtuales que invitan a tener conversaciones valientes acerca de los prejuicios inconscientes en las reuniones.

Investigaciones de Catalyst han demostrado que las barreras invisibles para las mujeres en el ambiente laboral, particularmente para las mujeres de color, han proliferado hacia los espacios de trabajo remoto durante la pandemia:

  • 1 de cada 5 mujeres se ha sentido ignorada o pasada por algo por parte de sus compañeros de trabajo en reuniones virtuales.
  • El 45 % de las mujeres que ocupan posiciones directivas en las empresas indica que a las mujeres se les hace difícil alzar la voz en las reuniones virtuales.
  • Además, 1 de cada 5 empleados ha evidenciado un mayor nivel de discriminación en el trabajo desde el brote de la Covid-19.

La campaña «Make the Invisible Visible» de Catalyst, creada en colaboración con Burns Group, permite a las personas elegir y descargar fondos de escritorio que hacen preguntas desafiantes para suscitar conversaciones importantes sobre cómo abordar estas experiencias de prejuicios inconscientes en el lugar de trabajo:

  • ¿Alguna vez se ha sentido juzgada cuando alguno de sus hijos interrumpe una reunión?
  • ¿Alguna vez la han interrumpido al hablar en una reunión?
  • ¿Alguna vez ha sido la «única» en la sala?
  • ¿Alguna vez le han preguntado «de dónde es usted realmente»?
  • ¿Alguna vez ha tenido que renunciar a su yo verdadera?

Los fondos virtuales están disponibles en inglés, francés, alemán y español.

La campaña de este año surge desde las campañas #BiasCorrect de Catalyst para el Día Internacional de la Mujer de 2019 y 2020, que estuvieron enfocadas en las palabras prejuiciosas que se utilizan para describir a las mujeres en el lugar de trabajo, y que demuestran que mujeres y hombres con los mismo talentos y habilidades usualmente son descritos de formas muy diferentes, esto crea barreras que pueden afectar negativamente el progreso de las mujeres.

«Make the Invisible Visible presenta las experiencias de prejuicios que experimentan las mujeres en el trabajo remoto durante la crisis de la Covid-19», comentó Lorraine Hariton, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de Catalyst. «Los prejuicios inconscientes son algo persistente, motivo por el cual queremos involucrar a las compañías y sus empleados (mujeres y hombres) con #BiasCorrect y ayudar así a crear culturas más inclusivas en el lugar de trabajo».

Catalyst invita a las personas y a las compañías a visitar el sitio web de #BiasCorrect, allí podrán encontrar diferentes recursos que resultan útiles para comprender, interrumpir y corregir los prejuicios inconscientes. Bank of America y The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America patrocinan esta campaña.

Acerca de Catalyst
Catalyst es una organización global sin fines de lucro que colabora con algunos de los directores ejecutivos más poderosos del mundo y con compañías líderes para ayudar a generar entornos laborales adecuados para las mujeres.

Bill to Support Women In Trucking Association’s Mission Reintroduced in Bipartisan effort

PLOVER, Wis., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The transportation sector has always been a male dominated workforce. Female pilots, truck drivers, conductors and ship captains are still in the minority. The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) was formed to specifically address the lack of diversity.

PLOVER, Wis., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The transportation sector has always been a male dominated workforce. Female pilots, truck drivers, conductors and ship captains are still in the minority. The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) was formed to specifically address the lack of diversity.

Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) recognized the need to address the inequity at the federal level and recently re-introduced a bill, Promoting Women in Trucking Workforce Act. The bill directs the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrator to establish an advisory board to address ways to increase the ranks of women in trucking. Moran was successful in passing similar legislation in the aviation industry.

The bill has received bi-partisan support in both the House and the Senate and was created in collaboration with Ellen Voie, President and CEO of WIT, whose mission is to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, address obstacles and celebrate the success of its members.

«This legislation not only aligns with WIT’s goals, but it has been an important and urgent objective for years, and today we are celebrating this success,» said Voie. «We also want to thank the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association and the American Trucking Associations for their support in advancing our mission through this advisory committee,» Voie added.

WIT was formed in 2007 and has over 5,500 members, including major industry giants Amazon, Arrow Truck Sales, Daimler Trucks, Expediter Services, FedEx Freight, Great Dane, J.B. Hunt Transport, Michelin, PACCAR, Penske, Ryder System, Walmart, and Waste Management.

«This bill will help us create a more female-friendly environment in supply chain careers so we can not only attract and retain, but promote women in trucking,» said Voie. «We have spent more than a decade working on these issues with little government support, so we are happy to elevate our efforts to the federal level,» Voie added.

The nonprofit association has seen the growth of women as drivers, technicians, managers and CEOs since its inception, and credits the group’s achievements. The list of accomplishments is extensive but include advancements in truck cab design and ergonomics, truck stop safety and amenities, a Diversity and Inclusion Index, Driver Ambassador program and Image Teams comprised of female drivers in both the US and Canada.

WIT is the only international organization that represents women working in the trucking industry and has been recognized for its efforts by the White House as a «Transportation Innovator Champion of Change,» under President Obama.

Voie looks forward to serving on the advisory committee.

The bill can be read here: (https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/2858/text)

About Women In Trucking Association, Inc.
Women In Trucking, Inc. is a nonprofit association established to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, promote their accomplishments and minimize obstacles faced by women working in the trucking industry. Membership is not limited to women, as 17 percent of its members are men who support the mission. Women In Trucking is supported by its members and the generosity of Gold Level Partners: Amazon, Arrow Truck Sales, Daimler Trucks North America, Expediter Services, FedEx Freight, Great Dane, J.B.

MIDLAND, Mich., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DuPont (NYSE: DD) today announced investments to expand production of its MOLYKOTE® Specialty Lubricants at manufacturing facilities in Berkeley County, South Carolina, and Chiba, Japan.

To address the growing market for autonomous and electric vehicles, as well as to meet regulatory requirements and sustainability needs for automotive and industrial applications, DuPont has invested more than $40 million in MOLYKOTE® manufacturing facilities to ensure continuing global capacity and a cost-effective supply chain for the production of high-quality, high-performance lubrication products. Coupled with extensive tribology and material science expertise, these investments reinforce DuPont’s capability for market growth in automotive, electronics, food and beverage, healthcare, heavy industry, and renewable energy and position the company for geographic expansion.

The new production sites, which feature state-of-the-art control systems for improved capacity and reliability, also benefit from transfers of equipment and experienced personnel from former MOLYKOTE® manufacturing sites.

DuPont’s Cooper River site – located in Berkeley County, South Carolina – is home to DuPont™ Hytrel® Thermoplastic Elastomers operations and has been expanded to include manufacturing of MOLYKOTE® Specialty Lubricants.

«Expansion of the site has created tremendous economic growth and opportunities for DuPont and the Tri-County region,» said Bill Alexander, Cooper River site leader and unit leader for DuPont’s MOLYKOTE®, Hytrel™ and Liveo™ brands. «We are excited to be in an exceptional position to better service our customers and provide solutions to their lubrication challenges.»

In addition to its new investments in its facilities, DuPont has supported the Cooper River community with both ongoing volunteer efforts and a donation of property for a much-needed parking area for the Cypress Gardens boat landing and botanical preserve.

The MOLYKOTE® plant in Chiba, Japan, operates as part of DuPont Toray Specialty Materials (DTSM) within the Chiba Toray site, where DTSM manufactures a wide range of materials, including specialty silicones for electronics.

«At the Chiba site, our manufacturing supports customers around the globe, including those in critical industrial and automotive markets,» said Toki Terukazu, Chiba operations leader. «Demand is strong, and sales volume is increasing.»

Reflecting DuPont’s environmental stewardship efforts, Chiba site employees are actively involved in community volunteering, especially contributing through local efforts for ocean cleanup.

NicoKick Statement in Support of Age Verification Legislation for Online Tobacco Purchases

WASHINGTON, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Markus Lindblad, Head of External Affairs at NicoKick’s parent company, the Haypp Group, today released the following statement regarding the introduction of H. 3287 in the Illinois General Assembly, a new bill that would put in place age verification for consumers purchasing tobacco products online.

WASHINGTON, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Markus Lindblad, Head of External Affairs at NicoKick’s parent company, the Haypp Group, today released the following statement regarding the introduction of H. 3287 in the Illinois General Assembly, a new bill that would put in place age verification for consumers purchasing tobacco products online. 

«NicoKick applauds the introduction of H. 3287 in the Illinois General Assembly. We encourage other states to follow suit and introduce this proposal, which would put in place important age verification checks for online tobacco purchases. This legislation would save lives by achieving two important goals: keeping tobacco products out of the hands of teens, while making it easier for smokers to convert to less harmful products, such as tobacco-free nicotine pouches. More Americans than ever are switching to a healthier, tobacco-free lifestyle and choosing smokeless flavored nicotine products over more harmful combustible products. While overreaching flavor bans under consideration in many states don’t work, make it harder for adults to access less harmful tobacco products, and create widespread unintended public health risks to adult users who may now have no realistic option but to switch to cigarettes, this age verification proposal is the sort of common sense legislation states should be focused on passing instead.»

About NicoKick:

NicoKick is the world’s leading e-commerce company in the smokeless industry, with customers in 34 countries. As users move away from traditional tobacco products toward healthier smokeless options, NicoKick’s sales have continued to surge over the past two years throughout the country. The site is quickly becoming a one-stop shop for consumers interested in learning more about and purchasing smokeless tobacco products.
