Employees
Headcount rises due to acquisitions
As of December 31, 2003, Deutsche Post World Net had a workforce of 341,572 people
(calculated as full-time employees). In addition, the Group employed an average of
6,609 trainees during the year. The headcount rose by 4.2% year-on-year (an increase
of 13,896 full-time employees), mainly due to acquisitions. For example, Airborne,
Inc. was retrospectively consolidated for the first time as of August 15, 2003; Securicor
Omega Holdings Ltd. was fully consolidated as of July 1, 2003. After adjustment for
these effects, the number of employees amounted to 322,959 at the end of the year
under review, a year-on-year decrease of 1.4%.
The number of employees in the EXPRESS Corporate Division rose by 12.4%
to 135,715 due to the acquisitions mentioned above; after adjustment for these effects,
it dropped by 3,654 to 117,102 full-time employees. The number of employees in
the LOGISTICS Corporate Division also rose due to acquisitions to 31,382 (8.5%).
After adjustment for these acquisitions, the number rose by 165 to 29,100 employees.
A contrary trend was again seen in the other Corporate Divisions. The number of
employees in the FINANCIAL SERVICES Corporate Division decreased by 8.5% to
31,195 due to rationalization and staff restructuring.
