Jones Honored as Workforce Innovator for Her Leadership in Team Development, Employee Engagement & Advocacy Across the Transportation Industry
SACRAMENTO, CA, UNITED STATES, August 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Kooner Fleet Management Solutions, a leading provider of comprehensive on-site fleet management, preventative maintenance and mobile repair solutions, proudly announces that Shelby Jones, Director of Human Resources, has been named a recipient of the 2026 Women in Supply Chain Forum™ Award in the Workforce Innovator category.
Presented by Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the Women in Supply Chain Forum™ Award honors female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship and leadership set a foundation for women at all levels of a company’s supply chain network.
As Director of Human Resources for Kooner FMS, Jones leads the company’s people strategy, employee relations, HR compliance and organizational development initiatives. Her leadership has played an important role in building the workforce infrastructure needed to support Kooner FMS’s continued growth across North America.
“Shelby understands that our ability to deliver for customers starts with our people,” said Gary Kooner, Founder and CEO of Kooner Fleet Management Solutions. “As we’ve grown, she has helped us build the teams, programs and culture necessary to scale while staying focused on the people behind our success. Her commitment to our employees and to advancing the transportation workforce makes this recognition incredibly well deserved.”
In an industry facing persistent technician shortages, increasing competition for skilled workers and growing operational complexity, Jones has helped develop scalable approaches to onboarding, employee engagement, retention and workforce planning. Her responsibilities span field technicians, dispatchers, operations personnel, corporate staff and leadership positions across Kooner FMS’s expanding operations.
One of Jones’ most notable initiatives has been helping create and champion National Dispatcher Appreciation Week, a recognition effort dedicated to celebrating dispatchers and highlighting their critical contributions to transportation and logistics. Dispatchers serve as a vital connection between customers, technicians, drivers and operations teams, coordinating service events, responding to changing conditions and helping keep commercial fleets moving. Jones helped identify an opportunity to elevate these often-overlooked professionals and turn that recognition into a broader industry initiative.
“The transportation industry is powered by people, and some of its most important contributors are often working behind the scenes,” said Jones. “I’m incredibly honored to receive this recognition, but I’m especially proud of what our team continues to accomplish together. Whether we’re empowering the next generation of technicians, developing future leaders or recognizing the dispatchers who keep operations connected every day, our goal is to create opportunities for people to build meaningful careers and make an impact.”
The Workforce Innovator recognition underscores Jones’ commitment to developing the people behind the supply chain and creating programs that strengthen employee experience, organizational performance and the transportation workforce as a whole.
