LEADERSHIP

Logistics has traditionally been perceived as a male-dominated sector, where the number of women is limited and those who do work in the field find it difficult to progress to leadership roles. 

DHL recognises the need for gender diversity and is actively working towards providing opportunities for women to thrive in the field.  We are committed to challenging stereotypes, promoting inclusivity and creating a level playing field for all so we can benefit from diverse perspectives and experiences, and foster an environment of innovation and creativity.

Nailing the application
The first step to landing a role in logistics (or any field) is marketing yourself effectively.  Research suggests that women apply for fewer roles than men, only apply for jobs where they meet all the criteria and aren't as effective at selling their skills.

We've pulled together some useful hints and tips to help give you the confidence to call out your achievements and make your application stand out.
