Work at Sport-Thieme

Flexible working hours are a given at Sport-Thieme. With our flextime model, many of our employees can individually plan their start and end times, as well as breaks. Whether it’s childcare or an afternoon event, flextime promotes a healthy work-life balance.

Remote work is firmly integrated into our daily operations. Many employees are provided with laptops to work remotely. We rely on a mix of in-office days and remote work, as personal interactions are important, but we are also open to employees who work entirely from home.

Flextime and remote work provide a solid foundation for balancing family, leisure, and work. In manufacturing and logistics, individual arrangements with supervisors offer the necessary flexibility. Additionally, we support families with various services for parents.

Our occupational health management (BGM) aims to promote the health and well-being of all employees – both physically and mentally.

We offer ongoing initiatives such as a cereal breakfast, physiotherapy (at the Grasleben, Heidwinkel, and Berlin locations), a health platform, and the Fürstenberg Institute. Additionally, our BGM team regularly organizes health days, webinars, and other offerings on topics like nutrition, addiction prevention, workplace ergonomics, exercise, and more.

At Sport-Thieme, we care deeply about the personal and professional development of our employees, as it plays a crucial role in the success of the company.

That’s why we offer a diverse program of internal and external seminars on topics such as artificial intelligence, IT, communication, project management, as well as nutrition and health. Our employees are also encouraged to regularly seek out additional training and seminars in their field and take advantage of them.

For us, enthusiasm means contributing to something meaningful with our work – promoting joy in movement, community, and quality of life. We maintain a familial, open, and relaxed atmosphere, celebrating both big and small achievements.

For us, development means that mistakes are opportunities for improvement. We create an environment where we can try new things, learn from our mistakes, and continuously grow. Regular exchanges about our collaboration and a positive learning culture support this process. We face changes and challenges together, offering mutual support along the way.

Excellence is achieved through collaboration, cooperation, and focusing on what matters most. We set high standards for the results and quality of our work. Just like in sports, periods of rest and recovery are essential to reaching goals and enabling peak performance. Regular breaks improve health, efficiency, and motivation.

Responsibility means making decisions where the relevant knowledge lies, regardless of hierarchies. We contribute to the whole and help shape the work atmosphere, stability, and growth of the company. Responsibility also means taking care of ourselves and others. We are part of a team and support one another.

For us, appreciation is independent of work outcomes. We are all equal and show gratitude toward each other in our collaboration. We take time for one another and accept the presence of conflicts and emotions. What matters is that we communicate our own needs and develop understanding for each other.
