Attracting applicants and offering online professional development

We take advantage of the latest technologies to attract and develop people. Our online  career portal was again ranked amongst the top three in Germany and in Europe in the Top Employer Web Benchmark 2009 put out by Potentialpark Communications, a market research institute. Each year, we advertise more than 12,000 jobs online. Our online simulator – part of our Discover Logistics initiative – has received a lot of attention. A total of 8,500 participants from 122 countries have signed up for it. This initiative has enabled us to spark the interest of qualified young talent in our sector.

Our online training platform mylearningworld.net is an important part of our education and development concept. 50,000 employees around the world are currently taking advantage of the more than 2,000 courses we offer. In 2009, we introduced language training to the platform. The DHL Freight Forwarding Academy is intended for staff members at the GLOBAL FORWARDING, FREIGHT division. Our employees completed more than 48,000 online courses in 2009 – three times as many as in the previous year. We plan to expand both of these opportunities in 2010.
