DHL Express U.S.

Part of the Deutsche Post DHL group, DHL Express is home to over 7,000 U.S. employees and 111,000 employees globally, and rose 31 spots from its 2023 ranking on this list. With a fleet of over 300 aircraft, DHL Express offsets the balance of “keeping the world connected” through sustainable efforts such as pledging to invest 1% of net profits in localizing and digitizing disaster preparedness through its GoHelp program, and planting 5 million trees by 2025 through its GoGreen program. 

DHL Express puts employees’ health and safety first through its Fit for Work, Fit for Life health and well-being program, which offers initiatives such as the Are You OK? campaign, virtual escape rooms and walks, vaccinations, mindfulness sessions, and psychological support lines, among others.

• Well-being is a priority. The Fit for Work program offers activities that help employees both at work and in their personal lives, such as exercise classes, vaccinations, cancer screenings, and stress-reducing activities.


• To encourage diversity, the company established the DHL4ALL Sounding Board, a 20-worker panel, which includes a wide range of voices and experiences that bring the needs and feedback of often underrepresented groups to the company’s attention. A standard unconscious bias training program was also made mandatory to all HR teams and offered to all employees


• Beyond diversity and mental health, DHL also encourages continuing education, with over 5,000 training sessions and other learning opportunities, offered in 25 languages. Topics range from leadership skills training and TED Talks to primers on using Excel and PowerPoint.


• “I have yet to run into anyone who would say ‘It's not my job,’" said one employee. “If they can't help, they will find someone who can.”
