- 2 July 2024 - DHL Express, the world's leading international express
service provider, has been named the No. 1 'Best Workplaces™ in Hong
Kong 2024' by Great Place to Work®. This marks the first time DHL
Express has achieved the top position, and the ninth consecutive year it
has been honored as a Best Workplace. DHL Express is also the only
logistics company to earn the title of Best Workplaces in Hong Kong for
the ninth time in a row. The achievement underscores the company's
unwavering dedication to cultivating a vibrant and supportive workplace
for its employees.
The annual Great Place to Work® list is among the most comprehensive
benchmarks for assessing workplace culture, employee engagement, and
organizational trust. Companies were evaluated based on the 'Trust
Index' from employee surveys and the 'Cultural Audit', an expert
assessment of the overall management of corporate culture. DHL Express
Hong Kong scored 96% on the 'Trust Index', reflecting its ongoing
commitment in promoting employee well-being, diversity and inclusion,
professional development, and a collaborative corporate culture that
enables its employees to excel and thrive.
"We are deeply honored to be named the top Best Workplace in Hong Kong.
This recognition validates our unwavering commitment to our 'people
first' philosophy, fostering a diverse community of passionate and
dedicated employees who are the heart of DHL Express," said
Andy Chiang, Senior Vice President and Managing Director for Hong Kong and Macau, DHL Express.
"We firmly believe that motivated employees are at the core of
delivering exceptional service quality. As we move forward, we remain
steadfast in our dedication to nurturing an inclusive and diverse
workplace that empowers every employee to thrive."
Empowering People through Training and Development
Talent development is a key focus at DHL Express. For the past 15 years,
the company has been running the Certified International Specialist
program, an in-house training initiative designed to nurture employees
and ensure they continue to grow and evolve in their careers. In Hong
Kong, the company offers the "Future Harvest" program, which enables
colleagues to have the opportunity to rotate job roles for more exposure
and long-term career development. In addition, the 36-month operations
management trainee program is designed to cultivate young talents, and
prepare them to be tomorrow's leaders.
Creating a Sense of Belonging for Employees
DHL Group is committed to creating a great workplace for all, where
every individual feels valued and respected. Creating a diversified and
inclusive workplace is a key priority of DHL's ESG strategy. Every year,
DHL Express hosts a "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging" week
to foster an inclusive culture that embraces colleagues from diverse
perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds.
DHL Express believes in celebrating its people and fostering a sense of
belonging. Initiatives like "Appreciation Week" highlight the dedicated
efforts of employees; the "Employee of the Year" commends individuals
who exemplify the company's core values of 'speed,' 'passion,' 'can do,'
and 'right first time'; and "Asia Cup", an internal regional sports
competition.
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.
