Dear colleague, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts after working 1.5 years with us. We’re thrilled to read that you value the positive team culture and the support of your colleagues. A respectful, helpful, and fair working atmosphere truly contributes to a harmonious day-to-day experience, and we’re glad this has been part of your journey. We also hear your concerns about salary levels. Please be assured that our compensation is determined based on market and industry benchmarks. In addition, we constantly explore new ways to complement salaries through locally defined benefits and merit-based rewards. We will continue reviewing our compensation plans to ensure fairness and competitiveness across all levels of our organization. We understand that KPIs can create a challenging work environment. We are actively working on simplifying KPI structures so that targets become clearer and easier to track throughout the month, not just at the end. If you would like to share more specific feedback, we encourage you to reach out to your manager or your HR department for a deeper conversation. We truly value your contributions and remain committed to making our company a better place for everyone. Thank you again for your open feedback. We’re glad you’re part of the team. Your DHL Team
