Hello, Thank you for your high ratings. We are pleased that you perceive us positively on so many points, and to know that you have been part of DHL for more than 10 years! It’s great to read that you valued the career growth opportunities and competitive pay during your time as an IT Manager. Supporting development and recognizing expertise are both very important to us, so we’re pleased that this stood out in your experience. At the same time, we understand your point about frequent reorganizations and layoffs. In a fast-changing industry, adjustments do happen, but we recognize that these moments can be challenging for employees. Your feedback is important and helps highlight the need for stability and clear communication during times of change. Thank you again for your honesty and for the many years you spent with us. We wish you all the best in your next chapter. Kind regards, Your DHL Team

Dear colleague, First of all, we are impressed that you have been a part of our company for more than 10 years. We truly value your long-term contribution. We’re glad to read that you’ve experienced flexibility and autonomy, depending on leadership, as these are important aspects of a positive working environment. At the same time, we understand your concerns regarding the return-to-office approach planned for January 2027. For many colleagues, flexibility has become part of daily life since the pandemic, and change can understandably feel disappointing or even conflicting with what we’ve promoted before. The intention behind the update isn’t to step away from work-life balance or trust, but to strengthen collaboration, connection, and development by spending more time together in person. Something we believe makes a real difference in how we work and grow. That said, we know one size doesn’t fit all, which is why individual situations can still be discussed with managers. We truly value open dialogue and encourage continued conversations as we move toward this transition together. Thanks again for your honesty. Feedback like this matters and helps shape our future direction. All the best to Miami. Your DHL Team
