🤝 Becoming a partner of choice Here at Geopost, our people strategy demands that we become the partner of choice. We strive to ensure that the individuals and organisations we work with feel supported and appreciated. We aim to nurture relationships and maintain our operational strength with a value proposition that’s attractive to existing and potential partners. In turn, our transport partners benefit from steady and fair income, positive working relationships and a deeper, more rewarding association with our business. In 2023, each of our European business units joined an international community with the objective of implementing fourteen new partner-of-choice initiatives. These include ensuring fair and on-time pay for all, reducing the cascading of subcontracting, improving IT tools used in our operations and many more. We also took steps to establish a partner-of-choice roadmap in every European business unit and conducted our first engagement survey to seek the views of 11 business units. As an example, DPD Eesti offers subcontractor seminars twice a year, with the goals to share results and set targets, offer training, networking and community-building and share best practices.

👷 Health and Safety at Geopost As employers and partners, we accept our safety responsibilities and understand the potential risks of accidents. We comply with all applicable regulations regarding health and safety and understand the importance of helping all colleagues maintain a positive work-life balance. When it comes to health and safety at work, we all have a role to play, for ourselves and our colleagues too. In our latest Employee Engagement Barometer, we contacted around 49,000 employees across 32 business units with questions about the quality of life at work. Of the responses we received, 80% said that health and safety conditions are good where they work. Our commitment to health and safety extends across all our European business units. For instance, DPD Nederland and DPD Switzerland are currently piloting versions of exoskeletons, exploring their potential to enhance the physical security of our team members. Similarly, DPD Ireland organised a week-long wellness programme, focusing on physical, emotional, social, and financial well-being, in line with Ireland’s national Mental Health Awareness Week. They also introduced an affordable Laya Healthcare benefit and conducted awareness campaigns on the link between stress and injuries, offering practical suggestions for preventive interventions.

A Century Separating the Olympics Games in Paris   On Friday 26th of this month, the Paris 2024 Games will begin! Surprisingly enough, Paris and London will soon have had the distinction of hosting the Olympics Games three times each. London welcomed the Games in 1908, 1948 and 2012. Paris hosted the Games in 1900, 1924 and now in only few days for a third time! A point of trivia worth noting is that exactly one hundred years separate the last Games in Paris with those starting this month. #GeopostParis2024
