3/5
Required to be flexible within the operations - this can mean late / night shifts and less holiday over busy periods (Christmas if you work with a retail customer like myself!!)
What is the organisational culture, values and general atmosphere like?
5/5
People are genuine and want to help you succeed.
How would you rate DHL initiatives when it comes to equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility?
4/5
Not too involved in these behind the scenes, but from a surface level looks like lots is done to aid DEIB within DHL, and it is encouraged across all aspects of the business.
How would you rate DHL CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives?
3/5
Logistics targets to GoGreen and be NetZero by 2050 - this feels far fetched at the moment, but recognised that a big push is needed to help reduce impact (especially transport!)

Would you recommend DHL to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Genuine responsibility, chance to move across the country to experience different operations - career readiness.

4/5
Good onboarding process.
When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to DHL?
Don't be afraid to ask questions, get involved and be yourself - DHL is a people-focused company so above all be kind and genuine!
