AKS chosen as one of the leading examples of inclusive and gender conscious companies in Jordan

AKS has been working and innovating tirelessly in recent years to provide the most inclusive and welcoming environment possible for all its employees. 

This month, our Human Resources Manager, Hind bakleh was invited as one of the guest speakers at The Gender Diversity event by @Enable- the Belgian development agency in Jordan, and under the Qurda 2 program.

Ms. Bakleh shared Amin Kawar and Son's progressive practices in the area of gender diversity and the amazing results reaped, and the increased presence and retention of women in the non-traditional shipping sector like shipping, maximized their potential at work and helped challenge biases and stereotypes of women in business.

"AKS continues to set the standard in their pursuit to promote gender equality and make efforts towards a family friendly environment. To mention a few of these efforts, we are offering flexible working conditions, gender bias-free recruitment and development opportunities, and extended maternity hour for working moms” said Hind Bakleh. "We can now proudly say that AKS has tailored a work environment for both women and men at the company to shine. This wouldn’t have been possible without the management's true belief in the importance of diversity and empowerment."
