Franklin Women’s Network Expands Reach

Franklin Electric Co., Inc. announced the continuation of its employee resource group, the Franklin Women’s Network. Formed in 2023, the group provides an avenue for women to grow professionally and personally through community, networking and development.

The group has hosted networking, personal development and learning opportunities open to all employees like a presentation skills training and multiday purpose statement creation workshop. They also performed outreach work, including partnering with local organizations, such as YWCA Northeast Indiana, for a donation drive.

During Women’s History Month in March, the company’s facilities in Oklahoma and northern Latin America launched local chapters of the group via hybrid events in conjunction with the Fort Wayne chapter. These chapters also sponsored local workshops and outreach throughout the year, with the Oklahoma City chapter volunteering to build meal kits at the OKC Regional Foodbank and exploring personality assessment and intentional communication tools.

Planning is underway for 2025. Activities will continue to focus on community, networking and development but also expand into well-being, allyship and alignment with International Women’s Day to #AccelerateAction, where difference is valued and celebrated.
