Transparent Communications
In addition to the annual Great Place to Work® list, DHL employees participate in the annual “Employee Opinion Survey”, which provides a platform for team members to anonymously give valuable feedback on various aspects of the organization. The company also hosts regular small group meetings, which offer direct communication and engagement channels with employees. These discussions provide a more intimate platform for dialogue and allow the company to address specific concerns and suggestions directly. The feedback from these initiatives motivates the company to act and adapt policies to improve employee welfare and development.
With this deeper level of employee engagement, DHL Express is empowered to deliver a higher quality of service to customers.
