ADIDAS WORKPLACE CONCEPT

Our adidas Workplace Concept is an activity-based working concept which means that employees no longer have assigned desks and instead choose from a variety of rooms and spaces, dependent on their needs.

The Workplace Concept starts well before our work does, ensuring our commute to work is integrated into local transport options, so we arrive ready to tackle the day. Within our office environment, we can perform based on our needs, whether that’s at a desk, in a kitchen hub, a focus space, or anywhere in between.

Like all athletes, recovery is an inherent part of our day. Sport and wellbeing are reflected in our workplace on multiple levels – from sport facilities to reflection rooms dedicated to prayer and meditation.

Our adidas Workplace Concept enables us to perform at our best, leaving room for local and cultural adaptations that give each of our workplaces a unique touch and our employees the flexibly needed to succeed in an environment that works for them.
