The Culture
The best thing about working at Brooks is:
People are invited to bring their best, most authentic selves.
When we’re not working, we’re:
Enjoying what energizes us and brings balance, purpose and happiness in our lives
What we’re reading:
Runners’ feedback for insights on how we might improve their running product and experiences
What we’re listening to:
Our inner voice that encourages us to interact with the world in a positive way—to seize the day
If they made a movie about our workplace, it would be called:
“Run for One, Run for All: A Path to Transformation”
Inclusion in the outdoors matters because:
Every day with a run is better—and for many it is transformational over time— everyone should have access to and feel welcome in running and other outdoor pursuits. At Brooks we have committed ourselves to drive change so that one day we can all run on equal ground.
Five years down the line, it’s our hope that:
More people are running their path toward a better self.
