CORY HOME DELIVERY LAUNCHES WOMEN’S INITIATIVE
Secaucus, NJ – Cory Home Delivery, one of the largest and oldest specialized carriers in America, has established an innovative, forward-thinking program for female employees. The new Women@Cory initiative emphasizes access to professional development and growth opportunities and ensures that advancement for women is integral to talent development efforts.“It is vital to provide a means to recognize and support women today, particularly in a male-dominated industry and in an expansive company with outlying locations nationwide,” says Cory CEO Patrick Cory. “We are happy to announce the promotion of several women within the company, including Johanna Soto, recently named Vice President of Human Resources, and Malathi Palaniappa has been promoted to Director of MIS.”
Established in 2012, Women@Cory, which recognizes managers who develop and promote female team members, engages externally by supporting young women in local communities. Group leaders recently collaborated with Leading Ladies, a non-profit NJ mentoring program that connects volunteers and young, at-risk women. In a roundtable discussion, Johanna Soto and members of her team shared their experiences and offered career guidance to women in attendance.
