The weather did not deter around 80 Progresif Sdn Bhd employees from participating in a three-kilometre walk along Jalan Residency as part of the company’s welness programme on Friday.
The programme, aimed at promoting a healthy work-life balance, also aligned with national goals of promoting a healthier lifestyle and the ’BN on the Move’ initiative for 20 billion steps.
“We are excited in associating ourselves with the national goal of promoting a healthy lifestyle.
“Activities, such as the three-kilometre brisk walk, are an excellent way to foster closer working relationships while at the same time instilling healthy habits to enhance our workplace productivity, creativity, and collaboration,“ said Progresif Sdn Bhd CEO Hajah Nurul Haniah binti Haji Mohd Jaafar.
The event coincides with October being designated as Mental Health Awareness Month and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Progresif members wore pink in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month to encourage screenings for early signs and symptoms.
Walking is the most prevalent physical activity linked to a decreased risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
