DHL Express has been recognised as one of Asia’s top employers, securing the second position on the 2025 Great Place to Work® Best Workplaces in Asia™ list. This achievement marks a decade of consistently being in the top three, underscoring the company’s dedication to fostering a people-first culture amidst challenging external conditions. Ken Lee, CEO for Asia Pacific, DHL Express, emphasised the importance of maintaining focus on employee safety and wellbeing as the company navigates evolving trade patterns and complex supply chains.
The accolade comes as the logistics industry faces significant challenges, driven by changing workforce dynamics and technological advancements. DHL Express is committed to upskilling its workforce and promoting diversity, inclusivity, and digitalisation. Recent investments in advanced technology platforms aim to enhance the productivity of sales and customer service functions.
DHL Express also celebrates its employees through the annual Employee of the Year Awards, recognising over 200 individuals across the Asia Pacific region for their exceptional contributions. Additionally, the DHL’s Got Heart winners were honoured for their impactful community work and personal career development.
Looking forward, DHL Express plans to leverage its Smart Connect platform to enhance collaboration and personalised learning, whilst the Certified International Specialist programme will continue to be a cornerstone of employee development.
