New hires

In 2021, in spite of the Covid-19 pandemic, about 23,000 new employees (including vocational trainees and dual-degree students) in Germany completed their first working day at DB Group (pre­vious year: about 26,300). These new hires include about 3,600 maintenance technicians, more than 2,000 mainline locomotive drivers and about 1,600 signal station employees.

In 2021, we had 18,450 external new hires, excluding young professionals (previous year: 21,700). This is an important contribution to the implementation of our central strategic HR objective and to the robustness of DB Group.
