Employees united by a single platform and purpose
As a global organization with 120,000 employees across more than 220 countries and territories, DHL Express is focused on enhancing employee engagement. Its social intranet, Smart Connect, is a mobile and online platform where employees gain access to various services and content, such as company and HR resources, news, campaigns and engagement programs. Employees also bond through the platform's social walls, where they can post updates and leave comments.
Additionally, employees are guided and united by a common purpose, "Connecting people, improving lives", which creates long-term value and gives people a sense of belonging. Employees are given opportunities to volunteer for initiatives they care about, such as climate protection. For example, over 100,000 employees worldwide are participating in a series of marathons to raise funds for Conservation International and plant 100,000 trees.
