Systematischer Einsatz von Sparrks Coaching in der Talent- und Führungskräfte-entwicklung der Mammut Sports Group

Introduction

Founded in 1862, Mammut is a Swiss outdoor company that provides high-quality products and unique brand experiences for fans of mountain sports around the world. This leading international premium brand has stood for safety and pioneering innovation for 160 years. Mammut products combine functionality and performance with contemporary design.

With its combination of hardware, shoes and clothing, Mammut is one of the most complete suppliers in the outdoor market. Mammut Sports Group AG operates in around 40 countries and employs around 800 people.

Objectives

Mammut not only aims to produce high-quality products, but also to create an inspiring and supportive working environment for its employees. In the past, various learning and development opportunities for talent and managers have been introduced to achieve this vision. With Sparrks Coaching, this offering was further expanded and specified.

Implementation

Sparrks Coaching is firmly integrated into all of Mammut’s global talent, leadership, and expert development programs. The aim is to effectively combine training with individual development to sustainably strengthen the transfer into practice. Talents are specifically guided on their journey into leadership roles, managers can expand their leadership competencies, and both—as well as experts—are supported in their personal development.
The coaching process incorporates both individual coaching topics and 360° feedback in order to address development needs comprehensively.

Scaling

Due to the positive impact on the talent development program, Sparrks coaching has been gradually expanded. Today, coaching is available to all managers at Mammut to address individual challenges in a targeted, effective, and sustainable manner. Coaching can be initiated either on the manager's own initiative or in consultation with HR business partners or supervisors.

Results

Due to the ongoing success and sustainable results of the coaching programs, Sparrks is now in its fourth year as a central element of the talent development program at Mammut and is used both programmatically and selectively.

The results show, among other things, a significant improvement in self-confidence and leadership strength among (prospective) leaders, which leads to improved transitions into new roles and increases the effectiveness of talent and leaders. In addition, coaching is perceived as a sign of support and appreciation from the employer.
