Teamwork, diversity and innovation – what we achieve together on a daily basis

We support and encourage all of our employees working in the department. In fact, nobody wants to leave. There’s lots to do but everyone enjoys it. We’re a great team!

Sven, Senior Manager Field IT Region East

Shaping innovation together

Our mindset: change, flow, dynamism. GLS is a pioneer of innovative technologies and agility. We are driving the digitalisation of processes in the parcel industry. Our goal: To make the work of everyone in the team as easy and effective as possible. To simplify work processes. To optimise parcel shipping. That’s why we focus on developing new tools, improving products and finding our own solutions.

Overcoming challenges together

You are part of a strong team. A team that sticks together, no matter what. We look out for one another and stand up for each other. It’s a real community. Respect, tolerance and a willingness to help are a matter of course. We value what everyone does on a daily basis to enhance our parcel services. Of course, things don’t always go to plan. But if things do go awry, everyone helps out!

We communicate across all levels and have a good network. Does someone need help? No problem. We help one another. Sometimes, depot management also helps out on the belt. Perhaps service employees provide route support. No matter whether it’s (wo)man power or knowledge exchange, those who need help can get it. Our motto: we overcome challenges as a team!

Experience diversity together

We’re not interested in where you come from – you’ll fit in here! How do we know that? Because our team is just as diverse as our consignees. We see different origins, cultures and world views as enrichment. The most important thing for us is an appreciative cooperation. Diversity and integration are therefore important principles of the GLS Group. It is our responsibility to promote a corporate culture in which everyone is respected and treated fairly. For us, this means recognising people's differences. We promote that everyone has access to equal opportunities. As a company with 9,000 employees, we see great strength in the uniqueness of everyone and in everyone working together.

Taking responsibility together

It’s clear why sustainability is important to us: responsibility towards people and protecting the environment is a matter close to our heart. Sustainable parcel logistics is just as much part of our culture as supporting sustainable development goals. In addition to climate and environmental responsibility, we also focus on social commitment. With silver status, we are also among the top 7% of companies in the postal, courier and freight transport industry rated by EcoVadis in the area of the environment.

Providing support together

We take responsibility - for employees and partners as well as for people who need support. That's why we work together in various ways to help people and support regional and local social projects. In doing so, we attach great importance to appreciation, respect and understanding.

Shaping new forms of work together

Do you like to work with many colleagues? Or do you prefer to work alone? Would you like to work flexibly? With us you don't have to make any compromises! Whether small offices, open-plan offices, shared desk or remote - with us you have the choice. Working part-time as a manager or flexitime? That's no problem either! Depending on your position and location, you can decide how you prefer to work. We support you with technical equipment and the promotion of virtual forms of work.

Exploring new avenues together

Job? Personal life? Career? How does this all fit together? It’s quite simple: through flexibility! Whether remote working or various working time models, we offer flexible ways of balancing your career and personal life in every department. However, flexibility also means being able to change location or department. Or to think differently and find flexible solutions.
