DHL Group Recognised as a top 10 Great Place to Work® in Australia

Sydney, Australia — DHL Group, the world’s leading logistics provider, is proud to announce its certification as a Great Place to Work®, ranking in the top 10 among the Best Workplaces™ in Australia. This recognition follows a comprehensive benchmarking process in which 6,000 employees across all international business units—DHL Express, DHL Supply Chain, DHL Global Forwarding, and DHL eCommerce—were surveyed and assessed against thousands of employees across industries in Australia regarding their workplace experience, trust in leadership, company culture, and performance.

This year, 79 per cent of DHL employees reported that they consider DHL a Great Place to Work®, 19 per cent higher than the average of 60 per cent reported by typical Australian companies.

DHL Group Australia leaders welcomed the result, highlighting the company's ongoing commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture and continuously enhancing the employee experience across all DHL divisions.

George Lawson, Managing Director Australia and CEO South Pacific, DHL Global Forwarding, said: ‘People don't join great workplaces by accident. They are created by leaders who build trust, invest in their teams, encourage collaboration, and genuinely care about helping others succeed. When our people grow and thrive, so does our business’

Denise McGrouther, VP Managing Director, DHL eCommerce, Oceania, highlighted the role a strong workplace culture plays in driving engagement and performance. "When people feel connected to a shared purpose and have opportunities to learn and grow, they are empowered to do their best work. Investing in our people helps create a positive workplace experience and enables us to deliver outstanding service to our customers."

Phil Corcoran, Managing Director, DHL Express AU & PG, noted the significance of the recognition. "Being recognised as a Great Place to Work® reflects the dedication, passion and contribution of our people. This achievement belongs to our teams across Australia who bring our culture to life every day and help make DHL a place where people can build meaningful and rewarding careers."

Steve Thompsett CEO, DHL Supply Chain, ANZ, emphasised the role safety plays in creating a positive workplace culture. "Safety is at the core of everything we do and remains one of the key foundations of our workplace culture. By prioritising the physical and mental wellbeing of our people, we create an environment where employees feel confident, respected and able to succeed."

DHL’s commitment to a positive workplace environment is demonstrated through various global initiatives, including a strong focus on safety highlighted by World Safety Day, which educates employees on safety and mental health. The company also offers a world-class training programme to expand employee skills. It provides staff engagement and community involvement opportunities, such as volunteering initiatives and social event celebrations, fostering camaraderie and purpose. Additionally, DHL implements employee recognition programmes that acknowledge outstanding contributions, reinforcing a culture of appreciation and motivation.

Through these efforts, DHL is dedicated to maintaining its status as a Great Place to Work® while continuously improving the employee experience at all levels of the organisation.
