With 219,067 employees, Germany remained the region with the largest work-
force. There were 65,599 employees in the rest of Europe (excluding Germany).
The consolidation of DHL resulted in a sharp rise in the workforce in North, Central
and South America (the “Americas”) to 23,905. Our heightened involvement in the
Asia/Pacific region also led to a substantial increase in the number of employees;
our workforce in the region grew to 14,372.
Including trainees, the average workforce for the year amounted to 375,890,
representing an increase of 16.3% or 52,592 on the previous year. At 148,714, hourly
workers remained the largest category of employees in the Group. The number
of civil servants fell to 73,157, while the consolidation of DHL led to a jump in the
number of salaried employees to 147,393.
Long-term collective wage agreement concluded
On June 11, 2002, Deutsche Post AG concluded a new collective wage agreement for
its employees. As a result, wages, salaries and the remuneration of trainees increased
by 3.5% from June 1, 2002, and will rise a further 3.2% as of June 1, 2003. We also
increased the Christmas bonus in eastern Germany to the same level as that paid in
