January 25, 2021PUMA NAMED TOP EMPLOYER EUROPE FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW
January 25, 20212020 was challenging in many ways, but we stuck together as a PUMA family. Our speed and spirit now got recognised once again – For the second time in a row, PUMA is named Top Employer Europe.
It goes without saying, we are proud and happy to receive this prestigious title again. PUMA is also the only company from the sporting goods industry to receive the award for all of Europe in 2021. Furthermore, our subsidiaries in Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain were also named Top Employers once again in 2021. PUMA South Africa received the Top Employer award this year for the first time.
Because of the pandemic, 2020 has been a challenging year for us all, so it is great to see that our strategy to put our employees first has been once again recognized in this way. We will continue to look for ways to improve, so we can retain this prestigious title.
Flexible working hours, mobile working, childcare support, financial and pension planning, an extensive development and learning program – we are trying our very best to provide an attractive workplace for our employees. What do YOU think? We asked our very own PUMAs:

Imagine working in a healthy environment, surrounded by joyful people while setting all the latest trends all in a day’s work. Sounds too good to be true huh? Well, this is my life and has been for the last 5 years and counting. I wouldn’t change a thing because I truly have it good. Working for PUMA has been all I’ve ever wanted for myself, I’ve grown in more ways than one, learned so much from people who are always willing to relay info and listen and have advanced my career in unimaginable ways. Here’s to 5 more years!

Navigating through a challenging 2020, I always had the feeling everyone is acting in concert to the good of the company and the people working there. The ‘cat’, as we call PUMA internally, is an agile and dynamic place to work where people see and may realize a purpose behind their work.

We have all struggled together for a common purpose. I especially liked the fact that the company continued to support us in activating and caring for the employee, with new Wellbeing, Engage and Learning initiatives. I felt supported at all times!

Statement made by the UK & Ireland Sportstyle Sales Team
The brand understood that throughout 2020, it’s employees, their families and wider communities were experiencing unprecedented levels of stress, anxiety and unpredictability in their lives. PUMA acknowledged that in these chaotic times, it has a responsibility to go above and beyond to support those that need it and try to understand what we learn about ourselves in the process. The investment in emotional well-being for teams in the UK has been fantastic – there are no barriers to stop us from raising our hands and requesting guidance.
