Każdego dnia FedEx dostarcza rozwiązania transportowe i biznesowe dla swoich klientów pochodzących z 220 krajów i na obszarze całego świata. Obsługa tej globalnej sieci jest możliwa dzięki wyjątkowemu zespołowi pracowników FedEx zaangażowanych w dostarczanie usług najwyższej jakości.

Nasza filozofia

Filozofia P-S-P (ang. People-Service-Profit – Ludzie-Usługa-Zysk) określa zasady leżące u podstaw każdej decyzji, polityki lub działania firmy FedEx. Nasza firma troszczy się o swoich pracowników, a oni w zamian zapewniają perfekcyjną obsługę naszych klientów, którzy z kolei nagradzają nas dochodem niezbędnym dla zabezpieczenia naszej przyszłej działalności. Najważniejszym elementem, dzięki któremu filozofia People-Service-Profit ma tak pozytywny wpływ na firmę, jest zamknięcie tego koła poprzez wprowadzenie zysków z powrotem do działalności i inwestowanie w naszych pracowników.

Nasz sukces w branży jest zasługą naszych pracowników. Dzięki naszej filozofii P-S-P stworzyliśmy środowisko pracy zachęcające członków zespołów do stosowania innowacyjnego podejścia podczas świadczenia jak najwyższej jakości usług dla naszych klientów.
