In recognition of their tireless efforts during the pandemic, the group has decided to once again pay employees worldwide a special corona bonus of 300 euros. This one-off payment is aimed at around 550,000 colleagues in all corporate divisions and countries. Executives are excluded. The resulting costs of around 200 million euros will be booked in the third quarter of 2021 and are already included in the updated earnings forecast for 2021.

Early on in the pandemic we recognised the importance of job security on wellbeing. DHL Express took a more flexible approach to the application of sickness benefit to support those shielding, in accordance with medical advice. We have continued to make sure our communication is as frequent and informative as possible, with a strong focus on health and safety while working, but also revisiting physical and mental wellbeing considerations.

From a financial perspective, DHL invests a double-digit million euro amount in its employees every year. This year we also paid every staff member around the world a bonus of 300 euros as recognition of their outstanding efforts during the pandemic.
