DHL Express, has been recognised as the sixth best place to work globally in a 2018 employer ranking from Great Place to Work and Fortune.
Every year, Great Place to Work, a global people analytics and consulting firm, assesses the work experience of employees through its certification program.

Our more than 100,000 employees are the biggest asset we have. This is why it is amazing to see that our investment in our people shows a sustainable impact.”
