Employees
Workforce strengthened by takeovers and growth
As of 31 December 2007, the Group employed 475,100 people (full-time equivalents).
Although the total number of employees rose year-on-year, the number of civil serv-
ants dropped further to 61,172. e sta costs fell slightly by 0.8% year-on-year,
from €18,616 million to €18,471 million.
In the MAIL Division, the number of employees fell by 0.9% to 146,208 but this
masked con icting trends. In the international mail business, the acquisition of e
Stationery O ce brought some 500 employees into the Group. At the same time, more
than 1,000 new jobs were created. In contrast, the number of full-time equivalent
employees in Germany contracted by almost 2,800, principally because we further
improved work ows, extended the weekly working hours of the mail carriers – by
common consent – and outsourced parcel delivery districts.
Measured against the previous year, the number of people employed in the EXPRESS
Division rose by 5.7% to 112,727. e increase is attributable to the acquisition of
ASTAR Air Cargo, expansion of Leipzig/Halle airport into a European hub, work-
force adjustments as well as companies being fully consolidated for the rst time. In
LOGISTICS, notably operational growth pushed up the number of full-time equiva-
lent employees by 4.5% to 170,130. In addition, over 4,000 employees in Europe were
statistically recorded for the rst time.
