be, a priority in DHL. At DHL APSS, we strive to create an environment
that allows our people from diverse backgrounds to grow, be motivated,
and have their Best Day Every Day.
Engaging our employees through various activities and development
programs, recognizing their contributions to the success of our company,
and listening to their voices, are just some of the principles that we have
instilled into our culture.
We organize themed Staff Appreciation Weeks, recognize monthly
top performers, and actively nominate deserving employees for Global
Awards such as the Employee of the Quarter/Year and Can Do Awards.
All of which demonstrates our recognition of our employees’ part in
contributing to making DHL APSSC from good to great.

thrives on – “Speed”, “Can-Do Spirit”, “Passion”, and “Right First Time”.
