Generation Logistics Case Study


The multi-award winning Generation Logistics campaign aims to attract the next generation of logistics professionals to the industry, by demonstrating the wealth of opportunities our industry offers. This week, meet Hannah Leslie, Talent Manager at DHL Express.

As a Talent Manager, Hannah is responsible for the design, implementation and management of development programmes and emerging talent strategies for DHL Express UK.

Her responsibilities are varied, encompassing internal development programmes for existing employees, graduate development programmes and apprenticeships.

Not only that, but Hannah is also responsible for DHL’s educational outreach strategy, which is aimed at engaging, educating and inspiring young people about the logistics industry and the opportunities it can offer them, while supporting them with workshops designed to expand and broaden their employability skills.

When asked how she found her role, Hannah credits the qualifications she’s gained through experience, with 15 years of working in recruitment focused roles under her belt, and having initially joined DHL as a Recruitment Manager in 2018.

“My passion for emerging talent and supporting people to reach their full potential is what drives me," says Hannah. "My role truly gives me the opportunity to make a difference to a wide variety of people at different points within their career.”

The variety of her role is a highlight for Hannah, giving her the opportunity to utilise and develop her skills on an ongoing basis. Her ability to think outside of the box to solve challenges and to work under pressure, thriving in a fast-paced industry like logistics, is what makes her tick.

“Also," she continues, "the ability to communicate with a wide variety of people from different backgrounds, roles and skillsets in order to make a positive impact. I’m resilient, I can recognise that things don’t always go to plan, but with hard work and perseverance there can always be a positive outcome from any form of adversity.”

Hannah is proud to have recently launched DHL’s Graduate Development Programme, providing full-time placements for all graduates within the business, all of whom remain employed by DHL and are continuing to develop their careers.
