What do you like best about the leadership team?

I believe there is a gender pay and opportunity gap at Brenntag. There are several programs that have been rolled out the past two years to help support women advance in their careers. However, there hasn't been enough training for the mid-level mgmt about how to pay people for effort and skill.
