The goal of the Leader of Human Resources Management competition is to promote knowledge and experience in the field of human resources management by recognizing companies that achieve success in this area. It consists of two stages. In the first, participants complete a survey divided into specific problem areas. In the second, independent experts conduct an audit. Based on this, the Competition Jury selects the winners. The Jury, chaired by Prof. Stanisława Borkowska from IPISS, included representatives from, among others, the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, the Polish Confederation of Private Employers Lewiatan, the National Bank of Poland, the Polish Human Resources Development Foundation, and the Polish Association for Human Resources Management. After each edition, a report on the research conducted among participants is published. This year, 15 companies were awarded and distinguished. The awards were presented on June 10 during a gala in Warsaw. The honorary patronage of this year’s edition was held by Waldemar Pawlak, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy. The project has been supported by the President of the National Bank of Poland from the very beginning.
– Managing a company as large as DHL Express requires great commitment, not only from managers. The experience of employees and couriers, who face various professional challenges on a daily basis, is an invaluable asset to us. By inviting them to actively participate in the management process, we want to show that everyone can have an impact on how we operate and the direction we are heading. Thanks to this, we are building our market position together and working together for our customers – says Maja Chabińska-Rossakowska, HR Director and member of the board of DHL Express (Poland). – Being awarded for participation in management by such a prestigious and demanding jury is a true honor for us. It is a recognition for all DHL Express employees and couriers.
The development strategy of DHL Express assumes the active participation of employees and couriers in the company’s management process. Since 2009, employees and couriers have been participating in and co-creating projects and initiatives, thanks to which changes are being introduced in the way the company is managed across various areas of activity. Last year alone, 300 people participated in them. Additionally, over 500 people took part in workshops and project groups developing new solutions. Their result is nearly 100 initiatives being implemented this year. Couriers and employees from all departments are involved in their implementation.
