Recently a message from corporate made employees feel betrayed and went against everything that the company has been promoting for the last 5 years, work like balance , sustainability, a new way of working, cost savings, etc.

Dear colleague, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback and for being with DHL for more than 5 years. We really appreciate that. We’re glad you value the team, the benefits, and the flexibility that have existed over the past few years. We also hear and understand the frustration around the recent message on mobile work. 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 at Express. 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 Plantation. Your DHL Team

It’s great to see that the supportive team dynamic, international exposure, and benefits stand out positively for you. We also acknowledge your comments regarding cultural gaps and occasional workload pressures. Global collaboration isn’t always seamless, and we know busy periods can be challenging. Your suggestion about managing stress through prioritization and open communication with managers is exactly the kind of input that helps us improve day-to-day experiences. If you are open to it, you are welcome to bring all your comments directly to your senior management on-site, along with any other improvement suggestions or advice.
