Erin Gattis is the Chief Human Resources Officer of ArcBest®. With over 20 years of experience, she is leading the way in creating an exceptional workplace where logistics professionals with diverse experiences and perspectives can grow and make a lasting impact. Erin boldly guides the teams responsible for the company’s award-winning training and succession planning programs, talent acquisition, employee engagement, benefits and compensation and executive compensation for ArcBest Corporation®. She also champions the company’s wellness programs for a healthier workforce and is one of the drivers behind ArcBest’s Environmental, Social and Governance efforts — including the critical work of implementing a strategic DEI roadmap — building a more inclusive workplace for all. Various corporate governance responsibilities also fall under her domain.

Under Erin’s leadership, the people at ArcBest have an opportunity to achieve tremendous growth, and the company’s customers, partners and other stakeholders benefit. Her dedication to building a values-driven culture — rooted in creativity, integrity, collaboration, growth, excellence and wellness — has made ArcBest one of the best companies to work for in the nation; career mobility across the company has increased while turnover remains at levels lower than the logistics industry.
