DHL Express, one of the leading international express service providers, started 2023 on a positive note with the achievement of the “Asia Pacific Top Employer 2023” award for the ninth consecutive year. Additionally, the Top Employer Institute also awarded 10 countries and territories across the region the Top Employer certification. These include Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The Top Employers Institute certifies organizations on their people practices so that these companies can assess and improve their workplace environment. To be a certified top employer, companies participate in an independently audited HR Best Practices Survey and are evaluated in 20 categories, ranging from business and people strategy, digitalization, employee wellbeing, career and learning opportunities to diversity and inclusion as well as sustainability.

Furthermore, DHL Express also wrapped up 2022 with more than 50 HR awards won by individual national companies. These include recognitions for workplaces celebrating diversity while creating a positive and happy environment. The accolades are also aligned with the company’s annual Employee Opinion Survey. Employees gave a score of 97 out of 100 for “Employee Engagement,” indicating their overall satisfaction with the company.

“This is great news to start the new year,” said Ken Lee, chief executive officer for Asia Pacific, DHL Express. “The ‘Top Employer’ recognition is a massive pat on the back for all of us. I am also incredibly proud of our team and the number of awards they have won. We’ve always focused on our people's well-being and will continue to do so.”
