DHL Express has been named the number one best workplace in Europe in the Great Place to Work® annual list. This recognition from Great Place to Work®, in collaboration with The Economist Group, acknowledges its tremendous investment in its employees. DHL Express, ranked 10th last year, significantly improved its commitment to a positive and supportive work environment during the past year.
Alberto Nobis, CEO, Europe DHL Express, said, “We are delighted that we—together with all our employees—succeeded in creating the best possible workplace. This journey has certainly been a marathon and not a sprint—being recognised as the best place to work is the result of a sustained focus on jointly building an environment that motivates, values and develops our people.” He added, “Our employees are doing an outstanding job and have proven to go above and beyond, especially over the last 1.5 years. Throughout the pandemic, they have been enabling global trade and supporting communities we operate in. Their motivation stems from our longstanding culture of recognition, which is also reflected in our employee satisfaction. People are at the heart of our business.”
DHL Express invests tens of millions of euros annually in its employees around the world. The “DHL’s Got Heart” initiative, for example, enables employees to support causes they are passionate about, and the “DHL4her” program supports and encourages women. In addition, a comprehensive learning programme, “Certified International Specialist” (CIS), equips employees with the knowledge they need to deliver outstanding customer service every day. With these and other initiatives, DHL is constantly improving the working conditions of its employees.
Farnaz Ranjbar, Senior Vice President HR Europe, DHL Express, noted, “We clearly see the importance of investing in our people. Our guiding principle ‘Connecting People. Improving Lives’ applies to our customers and our employees. It is vital to us to not only recognise the commitment of our employees but also to encourage it. Appreciation is a great motivator, and we are proud of how our initiatives and HR efforts have evolved, and our employees enjoy working with us.”
