DHL Reviews

In the past 8 years I have changed roles 4 times. DHL has been very accommodating for my appetite to develop and gain experience in different parts of the business.

The company runs national and international projects during day-to-day and natural disasters Projects include: GoGreen, GoHelp, GoTeach.

Dynamic in the workplace is great with an open door policy all around the business. One challenge is that because lots of offices, people are spread which can detract social interaction between peers.

There is a good ratio between male and females in the workplace and your ethnicity or religion would never preclude you joining DHL. DHL encourages its people to refer their family friends, as they have a great culture and rely on the existing workforce to bring their like-minded family and friends to work with us.

As a Human Resource Graduate you are given the opportunity to work in areas of the team such as Recruitment, Employment Relations, Learning and Development and alongside the Business Partners. In addition you are able to get involved in cross divisional projects. My day-to-day tasks are value-adding to the company. I am given a lot of responsibilities and freedom to complete them.

Managers are very accessible, and mentors are assigned to graduates during the program, integrating the graduate into the business.

Office is well organised, and divided into operation office (for warehouse supervisors, operation managers etc.) and back-end office (for general managers, customer supports, analyst, account managers).

Previous working experiences, previous IT Project experiences, what I do outside of work hours and what am I passionate about. Knowing as much as you can about Supply Chain and how your role will fit in with Supply Chain and the company.

Being a graduate, the level of pay received is not my first concern, learning and development plays a greater emphasis.

The company wants you to succeed so they put you through companywide training. Majority of work completed has work instructions to help during day-to-day tasks.

I have been working 8-4 since I joined the company. As per my observation, the working hours can be quite flexible and your senior does care about your life balance/need to spend time with family.

GoGreen is one of DHL's main initiatives, which aims to reduce waste through various recycling schemes both within the office and throughout all warehouses. Also, power saving and power reduction through, automatic lighting in the warehouse, to ensure only power is being used when necessary.
