How we shape the way we work at Wildling Shoes
We live an appreciative corporate culture in which the individual strengths of employees are valued and promoted. We learn from each other's mistakes, are united by a common vision of a new form of economy – and we do this while mostly working remotely and organizing our working hours individually. Because work should be integrated into life, instead of determining it. This is how we have approached the much-discussed topic of "New Work" from the very beginning.
Appreciative teamwork
Our goal is to enable employees to contribute with their individual strengths and abilities. Appreciative teamwork, joy and fun with each other, as well as strength-based work, which we provide a range of training tools and methods for, is important to us.
Flexible working hours
By offering flexible working hours, for instance, we create the best possible conditions to enable our employees to successfully balance work and family life. After all, our attention to top quality and durability is not limited to the products we offer.
Working from home
Most of the work at Wildling Shoes takes place "remotely". We offer frameworks and assistance for daily work from home with the help of the online tools we provide. In addition, each team can meet for coworking. Premises are available for this purpose in Cologne, Berlin, and Engelskirchen.
Diversity & Belonging
Wildling Shoes wants to be a space where everyone not only feels welcome, but above all feels like they belong and their strengths are seen. And this is regardless of age, gender identity, ethnicity, disabilities, sexual orientation, and other factors based on which our society structurally discriminates against people. We welcome all applications that contribute to strengthening diversity at Wildling Shoes. In addition, we are committed to flexible and family-friendly working hours. If you have any further questions about our efforts regarding inclusion, diversity, and belonging or if you encounter obstacles in the application process, please feel free to contact jobs@wildling.shoes.
