Revitalizing Salomon's break areas with Selecta France's tabletop service

Background

SALOMON, a leader in outdoor sports equipment, embarked on a transformative journey to reshape its break areas into vibrant hubs of social interaction for its employees. Having been an esteemed client of Selecta since September 2022, SALOMON sought to elevate the workplace environment by offering a warm and welcoming hot drinks solution. The mission was to transform the Forum, the heart of SALOMON, into a bustling 'village square'.

Challenge

Prior to December 2023, SALOMON's hot beverage offerings were limited to traditional freestanding machines, which, while functional, lacked the warmth and conviviality SALOMON envisioned for its communal spaces. In line with their "reshape" project initiated in September 2023, there was a clear need for an innovative solution that not only offered high-quality hot drinks but also fostered a sense of community and well-being among the employees.

Solution

Selecta France stepped in with its tabletop service, featuring the LUA, a cutting-edge solution that blends seamlessly into any environment. The LUA machines were strategically positioned in the Forum to encourage interaction and connection among employees. This service is accessible to all Salomon employees from Monday to Friday, ensuring everyone can enjoy high-quality beverages during their breaks.

Since implementing Selecta France's tabletop service with the LUA in our Forum, SALOMON has experienced a transformational shift in our workplace environment. The LUA machines have not only elevated our coffee breaks but have also become a central gathering point, fostering a stronger sense of community among our employees. Selecta's commitment to quality and their innovative approach have significantly contributed to enhancing our company culture and employee satisfaction. We highly value our partnership with Selecta and look forward to continuing our journey together.

Implementation

The project kicked off in September 2023, with a clear timeline leading to the grand unveiling of the new break areas in December. Selecta's team worked closely with SALOMON to understand their vision and requirements, resulting in a tailor-made solution that perfectly aligned with the "family" atmosphere SALOMON aspired to create.

Outcome

The LUA coffee corners have been a resounding success, meeting and exceeding SALOMON's expectations for a convivial break area solution. The Forum has been transformed into a lively space where employees gather, share moments, and enjoy quality hot beverages, thus enhancing the company culture and employee satisfaction. The LUA's integration into SALOMON's environment has not only uplifted the aesthetic appeal of the break areas but also contributed positively to the overall employee experience.

Benefits

  • Enhanced employee experience: The introduction of the LUA service has fostered a more engaging and social environment, improving employee morale and satisfaction. 
  • Cultivation of community: The redesigned break areas now serve as a central meeting point, promoting interaction and a sense of belonging among employees. 
  • Innovative solutions: SALOMON appreciated Selecta's ability to provide a unique alternative to the standard vending offer, underlining the value of innovation in workplace amenities. 
  • Long-term partnership: The successful implementation of this project has strengthened the relationship between SALOMON and Selecta, setting the stage for future collaborative ventures. 

Conclusion

Selecta France's tabletop service with the LUA has revolutionized SALOMON's break areas, turning them into vibrant centers of social exchange. This case study exemplifies how innovative solutions and a consumer-centric approach can transform workplace environments, proving that the right partner can make all the difference in achieving a company's vision for its employees.
