DHL Express, the world leader in international express delivery and the world's most international company, has received a further endorsement of its 'Employer of Choice' claim with external recognition of its Certified International Specialist (CIS) program. The program, which has seen all 100,000 employees of DHL Express receive world class comprehensive training on the fundamentals of international shipping and company strategy, won the Distinction in Leadership award in conjunction with learning design partner NKD Learning at the HR Distinction Awards 2013 held during the HR Business Directors Summit in the UK. The award was given in recognition of the 'Certified International Manager' module of CIS, which is targeted at company managers and facilitated by DHL Express executives.

"CIS has been one of the standout contributors to the performance of DHL Express over the last three years," said Ken Allen, CEO of DHL Express. "It has truly inspired me to see the enthusiasm with which our employees throughout the world have embraced the program and have sharpened their skills in international shipping."
