AN EMPLOYER OFFERING YOU SIMPLY MORE OPPORTUNITIES

We take the initiative, act with foresight, and align ourselves with our goals, react with flexibility to external influences, make informed decisions, and take responsibility. We define our future.

•  Active, flexible, adaptable, and open to new ideas: that's the WINTERSTEIGER creed. Change is embraced through deliberate organizational development measures and targeted growth by company acquisitions.
• We are trailblazers in the implementation of 'agile product development'
• Our production revolves around continuous processes where agility and an ongoing process of renewal ensure we remain competitive.

Everything we do has to provide value for the customer. We are constantly striving to understand the needs of our customers and to make decisions based on those needs.

• Sales and various specialists from Product Management and Engineering keep close to the market so they can pick up the customer needs of today (and tomorrow) and develop innovative solutions. Example: Ski rental of the future
• WINTERSTEIGER employs an in-house team of developers to realize individual customer requirements – especially in the SEEDMECH Division. Check out our Newsfeed for more information.
• Every year, WINTERSTEIGER runs a large number of training courses for its customers. These include ski servicing, snowboard servicing, and bootfitting. The courses begin at entry level before progressing to advanced courses and a racing service. The program also includes bespoke training sessions, where the WINTERSTEIGER trainer visits the sports retailer to ensure that everything in the ski service workshop is spot on. 

We are open to new things and want to grow. We have the courage to tolerate mistakes and uncertainty and accept them as part of the development process.

• As a pioneer in the sector, we implement agile product development to create an efficient, customer-focused culture of innovation.
• Agility is firmly anchored as a methodology in our development projects and is overseen by agile coaches.
•  We work closely with high schools and outsource stimulating projects. 

We are responsible for building personal credibility and trust-based relationships. Trust can be earned; it is gained through character and competence.

• At WINTERSTEIGER, trust begins with confidence in the abilities and the potential of every one of us.
• We allow our specialists to work autonomously with an appropriate level of accountability and room for maneuver.
• Regular appraisals consolidate and develop the foundation of trust between line managers and team members.
• This ability to rely on each other is also very important to us in an external sense. We aim to develop stable and long-term partnerships with business partners, suppliers, and customers. In the SPORTS Division, for example, we are already supporting the second generation of sports retailers and watching their grandchildren grow up.

Everyone deserves to be appreciated for who they are. We don’t take anything or anyone for granted. Our appreciation is expressed in the language we use and the decisions we make.

• Every member of the WINTERSTEIGER family is critical for the success of the company.
• Our appreciation is reflected in attractive social benefits, flexible working hours, and ongoing investment in the training and professional development of our employees.
• Employees with exceptional potential receive additional support from the WINTERSTEIGER Support Program. This dedicated talent management program was specifically developed for WINTERSTEIGER and provides a first-class training platform.
• Long-service awards: Employees celebrating a significant anniversary with the company are presented with an award at the Christmas party. 

We are honest with our words and transparent in our actions. We keep an open mind when confronted with different perspectives, ideas, and suggestions.

•  Information is distributed in a transparent manner via the WINTERSTEIGER intranet; the Group Journal and the News Flash also provide regular insights into the numerous activities of our various divisions and international sites.
• A particularly open conversation culture is cultivated in the appraisals, where a joint review of the previous period is carried out and targets agreed for the next one.  
• WINTERSTEIGER is open to visitors. School classes and groups of students are taken on guided tours to learn more about the company. Our neighbors and other interested parties get a glimpse of what we do during the "Langen Nacht der Lehre/Forschung" [The Long Night of Teaching/Research] or on our Open Days.

We believe that we can achieve more together than any of us could individually.

• We encourage a sense of community at the departmental level and across the company as a whole through the message "Only together are we strong".
• We initiate and support leisure activities (company events such as in-house sports, skiing outings, taking part in the Ried Town Run, celebrating the success of a project, our Thursday meet-ups, etc.)
• The WINTERSTEIGER Support Program enables young colleagues and line managers to learn from and with each other.
