The premise of the High Potentials (HIPO) program is to identify the most talented employees in the company and provide them with extensive development opportunities so they are prepared to take on managerial positions in the future. During the one-year program, a selected group of employees participates in training, projects, coaching, mentoring, and panels. During these meetings, experts, directors, and managers share unique knowledge about every division within DHL Express. Thanks to the program, employees have the opportunity to develop leadership competencies and advance, while the company gains perfectly trained managers and builds a corporate culture based on values such as entrepreneurship, openness, and responsibility.
So far, 45 DHL Express employees from the Sales and Marketing, HR, Operations, Finance and Administration, and Project Portfolio Management departments have taken part in the Leadership School. Thanks to the program, 22 people have been promoted to managerial positions.
– HIPO is a unique set of training courses on a company scale. The recruitment process for the program itself was very interesting. Participating in the Development Center run by an external company gave me a large dose of knowledge about myself. It was worth getting an objective opinion about my competencies, strengths, and areas for development – said Anna Maciejewska, Key Account Manager at DHL Express (Poland).
