DPD Ireland - Service Awards Policy
The purpose of this policy is to recognise and show appreciation to those employees who have demonstrated their commitment in serving DPD Ireland through continued employment. The Service Awards celebrate those employees who have been with DPD for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 years. We believe in retaining and developing the most customer - centric people, which is why we place such importance on recognising these long service milestones.
Eligibility
Full-time employees become eligible for a service award in the year in which they complete 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 years of service.
