LIFE AT THE NO. 1 WORLD’S BEST WORKPLACE
We’re proud to have recently been named the no.1 World’s Best Workplace, according to Great Place to Work and Fortune Magazine. 

This achievement is all thanks to our team of 111,000 passionate people based in over 220 countries and territories all over the world. It is our people that make DHL Express the incredible organisation that it is. We have a unique culture centred around trust and, despite the size of our organisation, we really are a tightly connected family with one mission: ‘Connecting People and Improving Lives’.

We take pride in our work. We offer everyone the opportunity to grow and thrive. We respect each other. We embrace our differences and the diversity of our network. We’re passionate about driving innovation through listening to our people and customers. And we do all we can to support our communities and – especially in the recent challenging times – the world around us.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
As the most international company in the world, diversity comes naturally to us. An inclusive work place means
offering the same great working environment to everyone. It means equal opportunities for all,
​​​​​​​and encouraging everyone to bring their whole selves to work. 

DHL4ALL
    
​​​​​​​We firmly believe that unity and acceptance is the core strength of our network. That each of us has something unique to offer, and that our realities and experiences are an integral part of our work. DHL4ALL helps us make the most of every employee's strengths and empowers our entire network to be the best they can be.

DHL4HER
   
​​​​​​​Whilst, traditionally, logistics has been a male-dominated industry, DHL4HER seeks to establish a gender balanced business by encouraging more women to consider a career in logistics and placing a heavy focus on nurturing the existing female talent at DHL Express. From female couriers to senior leaders, we are transforming the perception of logistics and inspiring teams around the world to create diverse workplaces that offer equal opportunities for all. 

CARING AND GIVING
Due to the nature of our business, our global network enables us to reach places that no other
company can – and that's the same for our charitable initiatives. We are driven to make a difference,
and believe that it's up to us to help make the world a better place – giving back to the world we
​​​​​​​help to connect, and improve, every single day.

DHL's Got Heart
  
Nothing brings people together like a common cause - and DHL's Got Heart is a perfect example. The program is a celebration of DHL employees who give up their time to support causes within their local communities that they're passionate about. So far we have donated over €2.5m for charitable causes across the world, over four years.

GoTeach
   
Working with two established partners – Teach for All and SOS Children's Villages – GoTeach helps us to give back to the communities we serve in a lasting, meaningful way. Helping children and young people from all socio-economic backgrounds to develop their potential, we offer them the chance to learn skills and access new opportunities for their career development. 

GoGreen
     
​​​​​​​Our Group-wide environmental protection program, GoGreen's objective is to reduce and avoid emissions of greenhouse gases and local air pollutants in our work. By the year 2050, we want to reduce all logistics-related emissions to zero.

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
We want to bring the best out of every single person at DHL Express. To do this, we prioritize the development of our people. We constantly identify on-the-job development opportunities and ensure every employee has an individual development plan. We firmly believe that it's our people that make us great.

CIS   

Every single person who joins DHL Express will take part in our Certified International Specialist (CIS) learning program. But first things first, every new joiner will undertake the CIS induction; a fully immersive, four-day learning program that explores DHL's entrepreneurial history, and provides an insight into the primary business focus, strategy and unique DHL spirit. 

Our core program has reshaped the culture of our company, empowering employees to be part of the growth story and helping them develop skills they can build on throughout.
