Deutsche Post DHL has just received two corporate awards for its human-resources policies. The Group’s diversity management was honored with the first-ever German Diversity Award 2011, which was presented under the motto of “Thinking, Talking, Acting and Working Together – Diversity as an Opportunity.”
The award was sponsored by the German business magazine Wirtschaftswoche, the consultancy McKinsey & Company and the consumer business Henkel. Corporate awards were given in four categories to companies, individuals and innovative projects that encourage a working environment characterized by diversity in Germany.
Deutsche Post DHL also received this year’s award given by the Human Capital Club e.V., a group established in 2001 that includes many partner organizations in German-speaking regions, including the German Association of Human Resources Management and the German Network of Business Ethics. Deutsche Post DHL was awarded as the DAX company with the most-transparent personnel policies.
“Deutsche Post DHL’s core business is all about crossing borders and facilitating exchange and communication. We can do our job only if our employees work together hand in hand,” says Walter Scheurle, Board Member for Personnel of Deutsche Post DHL.
The commitment of Deutsche Post DHL to human resources is reflected in its Group Strategy 2015, the guiding principle of “Respect and Results,” and the effort to become the employer of choice in the mail and logistics industry and its “People Strategy.”
The company uses a number of measures and initiatives to put its diversity management into practice. “The intensive discussions among many colleagues with various experiences, languages, religions and cultural and ethnic backgrounds really enrich our company. But it can work only on the basis of tolerance and mutual respect,” Scheurle says.
