DHL Express and 2022 Wins the Title of Best Employer in Europe

For the second consecutive year, DHL Express, the world’s leading provider of international express delivery services, has secured the top spot on the list of the best European employers published annually by the Great Place to Work®. The Great Place to Work® Institute and The Economist Group recognized the commitment of the international express delivery service provider to its employees and its investment in a work culture that puts people first, rooted in purpose-driven work and fair practices.

– The award from the Great Place to Work® Institute is an outstanding recognition of our efforts and dedication to creating an inclusive, positive, and fair workplace. Proud of this achievement, we will continue to move forward and invest in creating the best possible work environment for our team. Our employees are our top priority and the focus of our business. A culture of respect remains a key driver of our employees’ motivation and job satisfaction; therefore, we will continue to invest in our business culture, particularly through our health and well-being initiatives for our employees,” said Alberto Nobis, CEO of DHL Express Europe.

Valuing the work of its employees is of exceptional importance to DHL Express, which is why it is no surprise that the company invests annually in numerous initiatives for its employees. For example, through the ‘DHL’s Got Heart’ initiative, we encourage our employees to support what they truly believe in. The ‘DHL4All’ framework, aimed at creating a culture of belonging for employees regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, abilities, gender, or sexual orientation, is a strong driver of fair and inclusive practices. Through the ‘Certified International Specialist’ (CIS) program, employees become part of the cultural heartbeat of DHL Express and gain the knowledge they need to provide excellent customer service every day.

– Being named the best European employer for the second year in a row is a fantastic achievement for DHL Express employees. I am very proud of our teams and the work they have done, especially in facing the pandemic. We notice that younger employees are increasingly focused on a positive workplace culture as well as flexibility. We address these preferences by consciously investing in numerous employee initiatives. We will continue to build an inclusive, respectful workplace with equal opportunities for everyone to create unforgettable moments that matter to all,” said Alastair McCambridge, Senior Vice President of Human Resources for DHL Express Europe.

To be considered for the best European employer award, companies must participate in the national best employer selection. Through anonymous surveys that evaluate company performance, employee experiences regarding trust, innovation, company values, and leadership are assessed. Companies are also evaluated on their commitment to creating an inclusive work environment (For All™) that includes all employees regardless of their identity and background.

– Congratulations to DHL Express on yet another title of best European employer and for putting the well-being of its employees first. During an incredibly challenging period for the region, these companies have ensured fair workplaces by providing flexibility and supporting their employees in difficult times. The best European employer award embodies the mission of the Great Place to Work® Institute and truly represents a work environment that is excellent for everyone,” says Michael C. Bush, Global CEO of the Great Place to Work® Institute.
