The award was conferred by Top
Employers Institute, a global organization recognizing excellence in employee
conditions, making this the fifth consecutive year that DHL Express has
received the award for Asia Pacific. This further establishes the company as a
regional leader in employment practices and talent development, with a
workplace culture built on respect, recognition and equal opportunities.

 

“It is an honor to be
acknowledged as a leading employer and an excellent workplace in Asia Pacific
once again, and this is a strong testament to the hard work and effort that all
our employees invest in harnessing this winning culture in DHL — one that is
built on respect and results,” said Ken Lee, CEO, DHL Express Asia Pacific. “We
strongly believe that this culture resonates with our employees, who are
motivated to give the best to our customers every day. We remain committed to
providing the right opportunities for our employees, so they can be best equipped
to deliver the world-class results that our customers rely on to grow their
businesses.”

 

The Top Employer award has consistently recognized
DHL Express’ sustained investment in talent growth, including its Certified
International Specialist (CIS) and Certified International Manager (CIM)
programs that have trained, to date, over 60,000 employees in Asia Pacific. This
series of training is meant to create a powerful sense of community that
enables employees to combine best-in-class product quality with incomparable
service excellence.

 

“We’ve always valued the
importance of training and development, to ensure our employees remain at the
forefront of the industry, to keep abreast of what we can do, to meet the full
range of our customers’ needs,” said
A. Mateen, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, DHL Express Asia Pacific. “Everyone
in the DHL family is critical to the company’s success, and we take follow-up
action based on feedback from our annual Employee Opinion Survey very
seriously. This has helped us to establish a workplace culture where everyone

Pacific. This year’s string of accolades are the latest additions to the
