Deutsche Post must take austerity measures and reduce 8000 jobs towards the end of the year. It is about the letter and package activities in Germany, in which the company had around 187,000 employees at the start of the year- about 4 percent of the jobs must be fallen.
The austerity program also influences other areas of the global operational logistics DHL, which is mentioned Deutsche Post in its national regular activities and has around 600,000 employees worldwide.
Higher costs are difficult
Increased costs are difficult for the group: last year he was able to increase his turnover by 3 percent to EUR 84.2 billion, but the operational result (EBIT) dropped by 7.2 percent to EUR 5.9 billion. The austerity measures are intended to reduce costs by more than 1 billion euros. The Post & Package Germany area – ie the company of Deutsche Post – came with a turnover of around 17.3 billion euros, which was an increase of 2.7 percent. The operating result fell by 5.6 percent to EUR 821 million.
The letter has long since fallen in the digital age. Last year the amount of the advertising mail fell considerably, as the company put it. The package quantities, on the other hand, increased.
Germany Business Sorgen child for Global Group
The post office in Germany is more a problem child for the global group, other business areas are lucrative, such as the express programs that mainly use companies to send time -critical goods and documents. Lief Chain Services and the cargo company also bring more profit. However, the effects of the waved economy and the geopolitical conflicts were also noticeable in these business areas.
If you look ahead, DHL management is careful. They continue to expect “a steamed macro -economic environment,” it said. “We also expect a fleeting global political and global economic situation for 2025,” said CEO Tobias Meyer.
In Germany, the Swiss post was allowed to increase the placement during the start of the year, the E -mail was sent by 10.5 percent. That was not enough for the post, she wanted to run the price screw stronger. The Federal Network Agency has not allowed this.
Salaries up, number of employees down
The job removal in Germany is announced only two days after a rate with Verdi for around 170,000 post -people, package bodders and other logistics employees. The two -year collective agreement provides a reimbursement of initially 2 percent and in the second year by another 3 percent. Moreover, all employees receive an extra vacation day and long -term employees a vacation day.
