DHL Group's Language Learning App for Employees wins UN World Summit Award Germany
We at LinguaTV are very happy about this award and would like to share the official DHL Group press release with you here.
Bonn - The language learning app for DHL Group employees, jointly developed by the Post & Parcel Germany division and educational provider LinguaTV, has been awarded the national World Summit Award Germany in the Learning & Education category. With this, the further education project for Germany enters the competition for the global WSA Global Award of the United Nations.
The app is aimed, among others, at employees in the delivery sector who want to improve their German or English. Participants can use the app free of charge and in their free time. The app provides employees with the opportunity to voluntarily take a placement test, which then enables them to access customized courses that cater to their specific needs. In addition to general German courses, the app includes vocabulary trainers and video lessons with content related to the professional environment. Thanks to these features, learners can learn how to handle typical situations in their professional everyday life and improve their active speaking skills. The further education project has already received several awards, including the international IELA Award 2023 and the German eLearning AWARD 2022.
In the Post & Parcel Germany division of DHL Group, a collaborative workforce of approximately 200,000 people from around 180 countries come together to operate and deliver services. DHL Group also ranks second among the top 50 performing global companies in terms of hiring refugees. Approximately 400 refugees from Ukraine are employed solely in branches throughout Germany. The company understands diversity as a strength and a quality feature.
Thomas Schneider, Chief Human Resources Officer for Post & Parcel Germany, stated:
"Language is a key factor in integration. The language learning app has proven its worth in the company over the past two years and helps to better integrate foreign colleagues. And good communication within the teams and with customers is a guarantee for high service quality."
