The new investments in expanding the company's infrastructure and to develop talents underscore DHL's commitment to offer best-in-class air express services and solutions to customers in Thailand.
Investments in infrastructure and people
Part of the new investments include the relocation of DHL Express Thailand's head office, the expansion of DHL SERVICE POINTs and new Service Center in Thailand. Coupled with existing service quality enhancement programs such as First Choice and Net Promoter Approach, DHL has also driven "Insanely Customer-Centric" mindset and behavior in all employees since 2014, with an aim to be the leader in service. Recently, DHL Express Thailand has also introduced a customer experience management program for its customers. This program complements existing customer loyalty programs to enhance customer satisfaction.
Growth sectors
During the first four months of 2015, DHL Express experienced strong growth in several sectors, including in the Small and Medium Enterprise segment and electronics, among others. DHL expects this trend to continue as new customers come onboard, while the company retains an existing base of thousands of active customer accounts.
Yasmin Aladad Khan, Senior Vice President, DHL Express South East Asia and South Asia commented, "Our major strategic initiatives in Thailand are aligned with Deutsche Post DHL Group's Strategy 2020, which aims to define the Group's next phase of development. With the vision of becoming a company that defines the logistics industry, we believe our investments in facilities, network and people in a growth market like Thailand will enable us to not only lead the industry but become a provider of choice.
