Our values show how we work together!

Our values define our corporate culture. They are the fundamental beliefs that guide our behavior both internally and externally. We build upon these values to foster the culture and behaviors necessary to realize our mission and strategy and ultimately achieve our vision. Our goal is to embody these values in everything we do.

We care!

Learning from Experts Within Our Own Ranks

More than 50 colleagues are actively involved in our trainer community, passing on their knowledge, answering questions, and sharing their expertise with others.

Whether it’s specialized topics, processes, or complex legal matters, our in-house trainers convey knowledge in a clear, practical way and on an equal footing. This enables employees to apply what they’ve learned directly to their daily work, gain confidence, and further their professional development.

We care by giving people the space to learn from one another, share their knowledge, and grow both professionally and personally.

We think in terms of opportunities!

From Delivery Driver to Project Manager: Jürgen's Success Story

Jürgen’s career at GLS began in 2006 as a delivery driver. Since then, he has held numerous positions – from route supervisor to transport manager to his current role as Project Manager of Field Operations.

A key milestone along the way was his training to become a GLS Business Administrator, which gave him the opportunity to deepen his business knowledge and develop both professionally and personally.

Today, Jürgen particularly emphasizes the importance of networking, continuous training, and a positive attitude. For him, curiosity and optimism are crucial for seeing challenges as opportunities for growth – and that is exactly what we live by here, because we think in terms of opportunities.

I especially remember the moment when, after a little over two years as a delivery driver, I was asked if I could see myself working as a route supervisor. That felt really good and was a recognition of all my hard work and dedication.
