Employees
Number of employees rises following acquisitions
As of December 31, 2005, we employed 455,115 full-time employees (previous year:
340,667), an increase of 33.6% on the previous year as a result of our acquisitions. e
number of civil servants continued to fall.
ere was a dierent trend in each of the corporate divisions:
• In the MAIL Corporate Division we continued to optimize our operational processes
and retained the voluntary extension of weekly working hours for mail carriers. As a
result, it was possible to reduce the number of employees by 1.3% to 125,282.
• Aer we had increased our holding in the Indian operator Blue Dart, the number of
employees in the EXPRESS Corporate Division grew by 1.3% to 131,927.
• In the LOGISTICS Corporate Division the number of employees rose sharply to 148,095,
an increase of 360.5%. is was due to the takeover of Exel and of KarstadtQuelle’s de-
partment store logistics as well as operating growth.
• e number of employees in the FINANCIAL SERVICES Corporate Division decreased
by 6% to 29,799. is was the consequence of planned workforce adjustments in Post-
bank’s Transaction Banking Business Division, as well as the reorganization of the retail
outlet network.
