PUMA onboarding starts even before you begin: We offer you different programs to get you into a perfect starting position.

INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS

ILP AND ILP²

At PUMA, developing leaders who can navigate through complexity and master challenging experiences takes priority. We offer you a selection of measures to provide you with the required skills and knowledge to manage your team. Among many opportunities, you’ll get intensive training and coaching sessions – including interactive teaching, role simulations and best-practice learning – and collaborative projects.

In PUMA’s internal International Leadership Programs, you gain the skills and tools needed to be a successful leader at PUMA, all the while strengthening your regional and international network among fellow senior colleagues.

ILP

"The main surprise was that despite ILP being a corporate program, it puts you at its center: many talks, discussions, questions were about me. It’s so valuable that PUMA gave me opportunity to stop and think about myself, my place in this world and my mission. As result I got a true understanding of who I am and how I can contribute PUMA development."

ILP²

"The ILP² program is a fantastic experience, it is a journey to discover and work on myself first to then become a better leader for my team. The program not only delivers a comprehensive set of tools to apply in my job, more importantly, it provides an opportunity to reflect on and improve the way I behave in stressful situations, delivering better results on an individual basis and from a team perspective. I highly recommend the training to anyone who genuinely wishes to become a better leader."

ILP

"I completed the ILP training in 2015. My role does not require much travelling, so it was really great to meet my peers and make contacts with colleagues in a similar role with similar experiences. The course was well delivered and filled with practical applications of the leadership concepts. They can be easily implemented in my department. I also benefitted from the post-training remote coaching sessions with one of the trainers. I definitely recommend this course to all leaders!"

ILP²

"When I started out my career with a big blue-chip company, training was focused on developing tangible skills or correcting perceived weaknesses. I couldn't have imagined a time when a company would invest so much in developing us as individuals, giving us the scope and the soft skills to be a better version of ourselves, and tools to build us personally, with the foresight that it would make us better leaders. The ILP² course demonstrates some real forward thinking by PUMA."

PUMA LEADERSHIP EXPEDITION

Great explorers embrace the unknown. PUMA leaders are required to steer through unforeseen challenges, turning setbacks into opportunities. Our PUMA Leadership Expedition equips participants with the tools and mindset they need to overcome obstacles and reach ambitious goals. This PUMA tailored and self-driven virtual training supports the journeys of our leaders with state of the art knowledge and skills to make PUMA FOREVER. FASTER.
