DHL Parcel UK has received Great Place to Work Certification™. The accreditation is based on employee feedback through the Great Place to Work Trust Index™ along with details about DHL’s people programmes and practices.
Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture. Certification signifies outstanding employers who are characterised by a trust-based, ‘people first’ workplace culture.
The survey covers areas such as manager credibility, fairness, respect, camaraderie, honesty and pride. The Certification process provides important information about the current state of the workplace culture, enabling the business to measure, understand and develop their culture further.
Being a great employer is priority for DHL Parcel UK. The core attributes: Can Do, Passion, Right First Time and As One, run through all aspects of the business to create a unified culture and shared purpose.
Over the last two years, the company has invested even further in its people with a particular focus on wellbeing and development.

To support employee wellbeing, all colleagues have access to free counselling and support as well as specific training courses aimed at raising awareness about mental health.
