Why is IMA a great place to work for women?
Why is IMA a great place to work for women? The 2023 theme for Women’s History Month is “women who tell their stories.” To contribute to the conversation, we’re sharing our associates’ perspectives on how our culture, work environment and opportunities make IMA a great place to grow a career and make an impact as a female professional.

“What makes IMA a great place to work as a woman is the flexibility. There is a willingness to figure out what is going to work – for all of us.”
SUPPORT
SVP Corporate Communications/Executive Director IMA Foundation
“IMA is a great place to work in general, but particularly for women, because, with over 60% of our employee base being female, you see a woman at every turn. And, it’s pretty amazing the support you get with that number of women around you – especially scrappy, smart, amazing women.”

COLLABORATION

“I would describe IMA’s culture as collaborative. When we debrief on a new ‘win’ from a sales perspective, the resounding theme is always, ‘it was a team win.’ I really love that collaboration and team mentality.”

BENEFITS
Environmental Account Manager
“I think IMA is a great place to work for women because of the benefits we have and the flexibility we have. It’s something I really quickly realized when I became pregnant. [Having paid maternity leave] has been tremendously helpful; I would not have been able to spend time with my baby and bond otherwise.”

EXPERTISE
