Haritharan Gunapalasingam: Living and experiencing the new Guiding Principles in everyday business life.

TEAM. Integrity, trust, top performance and customer orientation are four of the vital characteristics that Deutsche Telekom employees should em- brace – and that they themselves may expect of others. This is the only way to ensure that we will be successful, efficient and content as a team in the long term. Deutsche Telekom has teams of all sizes featuring diversity at all lev- els, in its projects and departments, business areas, national companies and in the Group as a whole. Every team and every team mem- ber plays an entrepreneurial role to ensure that we delight both our internal and our external customers. As a Group team in our One Com- pany, we drive Deutsche Telekom’s transfor- mation and restructuring on its way to becom- ing the most highly regarded service company in our industry. The transformation to the new Deutsche Telekom is supported by our new Guiding Principles, which constitute the global value framework on which our actions are based. This will market the end of this formal education for the time being: “After this I want to concentrate first and foremost on my work.” Not as a model, however, even though he is one of the faces used in the Guiding Principles poster campaign: “No, I simply want to get on and advance my career.” And Haritharan Gunapalasingam reckons that this is something he can do really well at Deutsche Telekom: “Here I have all the aspects and fields that interest me under one roof.” He will, at any rate, be able to put the know-how he acquires during his degree course to good use – in his own interest as well as in the interest of his colleagues and the Group as a whole.  In 2010: 3,500 new hires in Germany alone.  More than 150 million mobile telephony customers and 38 million landline connections worldwide. 5 Team Technology meets talent.
