New hires
In 2022, about 26,700 new employees (including vocational trainees and dual-degree students) in Germany completed their first working day at DB Group (previous year: about 23,000). These new hires include almost 4,000 maintenance technicians, around 2,000 mainline locomotive drivers and over 1,500 interlocking employees.
In 2022, we had 21,810 external new hires, excluding young talents (previous year: 18,450). This is an important contribution to the implementation of our central strategic HR objective and to the robustness of DB Group.
