Number and structure of employees (DB AG)

In order to guarantee better comparability over time, the number of DB AG employees is calculated on the basis of full-time equivalents (FTE), similarly to the procedure used for DB Group. Figures for part-time employees are measured in accordance with their proportion of regular annual working time.

As of December 31, 2023, the number of DB AG employees increased. With 9,221 employees, the annual average was above the level of the previous year (previous year: 8,777 employees). The growth resulted mainly from a greater need for the recruitment and support of DB Group operational employees in connection with the implementation of measures to improve quality and capacity. Furthermore, additional employees were hired in central procurement, in particular in connection with the general modernization of the infrastructure and in the Digitalization and Technology division.
