adidas-Salomon ANNUAL REPORT 2000

Our Recruitment Policy
A balanced mix of external know-how and internal development
has been strengthened through both focused personnel market
-
ing activities and the in-house development of our employees.
Exchange of know-how has been enhanced through employee
transfers between regions and brands. This has helped us
become more inspired, diversified and qualified.
In the recruitment of entry-level positions, our focus is put
on utilizing apprentices, trainees and interns. Additionally, we
are increasing selective alliances with design colleges and
universities as well as boosting our recruitment activities at
relevant candidate forums. Our young managers are supported
internally through management development programs. One
example of this was an internal management academy piloted
for adidas Germany in 2000.
Our Future
The success and growth of our Company has come as a direct
result of the talents of the people who work for us. While 2000
was a challenging year, it was also a year which will act as a
platform for extended growth in the future. Management would
like to thank all of our employees for the support, cooperation
and commitment that they have shown so strongly.
As the leading sporting goods company in the world, we will
continue to focus on finding, developing and retaining the best
people for our Company. And we will continue to offer them a
working environment in which top performance at all levels and
in all disciplines is both fun and financially rewarding.
