DHL Express attributes their 2018 Top Employer for Asia Pacific award to two core values—respect and results.
Commenting on the award, Ken Lee, CEO, DHL Express Asia Pacific enthused, "The DHL culture is built on the two R's: respect and results. When we value our employees, and provide them with opportunities to achieve, we're able to deliver the world-class results that our customers rely on to grow their businesses."
The Top Employer award also recognised DHL Express' sustained investment in talent growth, including its Certified International Specialist and Certified International Manager programmes that have trained over 43,000 employees in Asia Pacific. Nearly 75% of executive positions in the region end up being filled by internal candidates thanks to the company's talent development initiatives, and—perhaps most impressively—women hold one in three management roles.
A. Mateen, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, DHL Express Asia Pacific added, "Diversity in leadership and the workplace help us better understand the full range of our customers' needs and stories—resulting in more effective service for their businesses. Thanks to a strong Diversity Management framework in place, coupled with comprehensive feedback from our annual Employee Opinion Survey, we've established a workplace culture where everyone has not only a voice, but also the opportunity to grow to their full potential."
