To guarantee better comparability, the number of employees is converted into full-time employees (FTE).
Figures for part-time employees are measured in accordance with their share of the regular annual working time.
As of December 31, 2021, the number of employees was at the same level as at the end of the previous year. Declines at DB Arriva, mainly due to the Covid-19-related decline in demand for UK Bus, were fully offset by an increase at DB Schenker, mainly as a result of the positive business development and a slightly higher number of employees in the Integrated Rail System. Measures to increase capacity and quality at DB Netze Track and DB Netze Stations was the main factor here. In the Other area, the number of employees also increased due, among other things, to expanded digitalization and quality measures, additional hygiene and safety requirements as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the increase in in-house production.

The figures indicate non-restructuring-related turnover of permanent employees.

The rise in turnover under other employee turnover is largely due to personnel members leaving to become “extended” personnel members (for example parental leave, long-term or permanent illness).
