Number and structure of employees (DB AG)
To ensure better comparability over time, the number of DB AG employees is converted into full-time equivalents (FTE) in line with the procedure used at DB Group. Figures for part-time employees are measured in accordance with their share of the regular annual working time.
| DB AG employees as of Dec 31 / FTE | 2024 | 2023 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| absolute | % | |||
| Employees | 9,888 | 9,551 | +337 | +3.5 |
| Vocational trainees | 168 | 180 | –12 | –6.7 |
| DB AG | 10,056 | 9,731 | +325 | +3.3 |
As of December 31, 2024, the number of DB AG employees increased. At 10,045 employees, the annual average was also above the previous year’s level (previous year: 9,221 employees). The increase resulted largely from the merger of DB Gastronomie GmbH and DB AG. As of December 31, 2024, a decline in the number of employees in Group management due to significantly reduced recruitment activities had a partially offsetting effect.
