Evaluation of 600 aspects of human resources

DHL Supply Chain was specifically awarded the certificate for its approach in the following areas: talent management strategy, leadership development, career management and succession, and development and education. The certification process consists of extensive research, including third-party auditing.
"In all countries, including the Czech Republic, DHL Supply Chain organises numerous programmes to support career development and personal engagement.
