Women continue to
make great strides in blue-collar industries. Starving Students, the
nation's leading local mover, boasts 20% of its field management is
comprised of women. At Starving Students, the women field managers and
directors are growing in numbers and, more often than not, outperform
their male peers. Two women managers Kim Nicholl and Sara Wicks credit
their success in this male-dominated blue-collar industry, to three
qualities: determination, drive to outperform, and detail-orientation.
Kim Nicholl, one of five regional
directors for Starving Students, sets high expectations for herself, and
this, she says, is how she consistently stays ahead of her all-male peers.
She is often the number one regional director at Starving Students,
maintaining high customer satisfaction ratings, high move completions, and
low workers compensation claims. Kim Nicholl is the competition to beat.
Starving Students' Tacoma,
Washington office is making great progress. It has been open less than a
year, and under branch manager Sara Wick's management, it has risen into
the top 5 branches in the country. That's because Sara makes sure her
moving crews understand the rationale behind certain rules and procedures.
By communicating in depth, Sara ensures her team stays focused, follows
protocol, and delights customers.
The women at Starving Students are
changing attitudes of everyone they meet. The results speak for
themselves. The sole woman regional director out of five regional
directors has spent most of her five years at Starving Students as the
number one regional director. Also there are 8 women branch managers out
of 38 branch managers, and four of the top eight branch managers are
women. These women on the move continue to exceed expectations and goals,
leading to the conclusion that perhaps the best man for the job is a
woman!
