Culture is one of the most defining characteristics of a good employer. Managing people respectfully with unwavering focus on results defines the company’s culture very strongly.

Talking about leadership development, R.S. Subramanian, Country Manager, DHL Express India, said, “Leadership at all levels is an absolute critical factor. The focus is on frontline teams as they create the maximum value for the organization and are the building blocks of the company’s culture. Focusing on developing their skills, giving them good career opportunities is our main priority. Since customers determine our business success, our customer servicing teams adapt an Insanely Customer Centric (ICC) culture.”

First is teamwork and AS ONE we can make a strong team. We can produce greater results collectively than individually. Second is to produce great results without compromising on respect. Third is to focus on the bottom line and build a profitable network. Fourth is our FOCUS - motivated people, great quality service, loyal customers and finally focus on leadership development.”
