Employee well-being
Engagement and great performance stem from professionalism, well-being at work, and genuine passion. We believe in team spirit and teamwork. Our community consists of strong individuals who contribute to our common goals to promote an active lifestyle and improve sport performance globally.
Health and safety
Providing healthy and safe places to work is at the core of Amer Sports’ social responsibility. We want to ensure the well-being of our own employees as well as any non-employee working at our premises by promoting a positive safety culture. We actively advance diversity, equity, and inclusion and ensure that every individual can work in a healthy and safe environment without the risk of injury, ill, health, harassment, or discrimination.
Amer Sports has a flexible approach to work by combining in-person and remote models. Healthy workplaces and the well-being of our employees are key priorities for us. That’s why we have refreshed our contingency and resilience plans, while also stepping up to ensure the protection of employees and the heightened promotion of workplace safety.
Employee welfare and well-being
We believe that passionate and empowered people perform at their best and excel. In addition to the flexible approach to working hours and locations, we offer our employees versatile support for maintaining an active lifestyle and doing sports.
We are committed to providing ongoing employee development to strengthen our company’s strategic capability to succeed. We have made significant investments, including the global learning management system Amer Sports Learning Space, which was implemented in 2023 to support both group-level and business-specific learning solutions. We run and monitor our Group-level mandatory training through the learning platform and in-class training, ensuring ethical business practices and compliance with laws and regulations.
Coaching for Success, the performance management process of Amer Sports, cascades our strategy across the organization and our employees. This process gives employees the opportunity to have one-to-one performance and development discussions with their manager and next-level manager, encouraging ongoing feedback and dialogue. In 2023, the Coaching for Success completion rate was 94% (2022: 91%).
Amer Sports has also created the Future Work framework, which enables employees in office-based roles to choose flexible work arrangements. A balance of remote working and regular, in-person interaction at our office hubs is seen important to maintaining a strong community and enabling well-being. We continue to evolve the Future Work concept based on our experience and evolution in the marketplace.
