Dear colleague, Thanks much for your fabulous 4-stars-review! You are totally right: The willingness to go the extra mile is very high especially in these times and teams are doing their best to deliver excellent results. Frank Appel, CEO Deutsche Post DHL Group, summarized it recently in the following way: "2020 was an exceptional year: despite all the challenges faced, we achieved a record result. Our strategy and business model have proven resilient - even in turbulent times for the global economy. Thanks to the incredible performance of our 550,000 employees all over the world we made a positive contribution to people and societies during the Covid-19 crisis. We are now focused on distributing the Covid-19 vaccine all over the world." We regret that you have the feeling development opportunities are limited. There are a wide range of opportunities on offer across the Group. Our Certified and First Choice programs provide knowledge about the Group itself. That knowledge enables us to improve our performance and the results of our daily work. When it comes to personal development, the 70/20/10 formula applies: An employee development plan should comprise 70% learning on the job, 20% feedback, coaching and mentoring, and 10% further education, training and e-learning. In matters of learning, one of our main touch points is our internal portal my Talent World. We’ve redesigned the portal recently, wanting to provide a whole new learning experience for our employees. In addition, each and every employee should work with their line manager to draw up a development plan. We wish you all the best for your future and hope you will find perhaps in a first step development opportunities in my Talent World. And don't forget to reach out also your line manager for further support for your personal development plan. Good luck! Your Employer Branding Team
