The DHL Express
has been certified as a Top Employer in Africa for the fourth consecutive year,
at the prestigious Top Employer Africa 2018 certification ceremony, reports ITRealms.
The event ITRealms
gathered was held at Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg last Thursday, and
saw DHL awarded this honour by the Top Employers Institute for the fourth year.
“DHL Express values its employees and strives to
make the company a rewarding place to work at. We are proud to have that fact
affirmed by Top Employers Institute,” says the chief executive officer (CEO),
DHL Express Sub-Saharan Africa, Hennie Heymans.
He also explained that aside being the fourth
consecutive year, DHL was the only company to be certified as a Top Employer in
18 markets in Africa, including Angola, Botswana, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire,
Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Morocco,
Nigeria, Namibia, South Africa, Senegal, Uganda, and Zambia.
“DHL has cultivated an insanely customer centric
culture across the entire organization, which we see as a critical component of
our success. Maintaining this culture across the world has relied heavily on
our effective employee engagement programs,” said Heymans.
“It therefore goes without saying that employee
motivation and development are important areas of focus for us. We are
committed to having a team of high performers who operate in a high performance
culture that promotes and drives leadership diversity.”
According to Heymans, DHL’s use of employee
initiatives and programs, including the company’s Certified International
Specialist (CIS) cultural change programme has helped to unlock the potential
of the company’s employees across Sub-Saharan Africa.
“This year, we have
placed greater emphasis on up-skilling and empowering middle-managers and supervisors
– as this rung of leadership is pivotal to the leading and executing of our
growth aspirations in the years to come. As we continue to grow, we need every
person in the business to understand their role and how to execute it
efficiently. After all, the role of supervisors and middle-managers is to build
trust and inspire great performance,” Heymans said.
