The SLASSCOM ‘FIT HIT 2024’ initiative wrapped up recently, after a comprehensive two-month endeavour dedicated to promoting health and wellness in the IT/BPM Industry.
With over 300 participants from 25+ companies, the event featured a variety of activities aimed at encouraging healthier habits and lifestyles in the tech industry.
At the heart of ‘FIT HIT 2024’ were four dynamic webinars with a focus on nutrition, exercise, lifestyle and overall well-being. A highlight of ‘FIT HIT 2024’ was the 21-day steps challenge, hosted online via the Ayubo life app.
Participants were encouraged to achieve a daily step goal of 10,000, promoting consistent physical activity and embracing healthier habits. In addition, ‘FIT HIT 2024’ featured seven weeks of Couch to 5km sessions, guiding individuals in gradually improving their fitness levels. These sessions culminated in the Final 5km Run/Walk.
“The culmination of ‘FIT HIT 2024’ marks a significant milestone in our journey towards fostering a culture of health and wellness within the IT/BPM Industry.”
“Our industry is challenged by non-communicable diseases and we are very keen to encourage employee health and well-being. Sri Lanka’s IT/BPM industry will be known not just as the island of ingenuity but as a responsible one that champions employee health and well-being, mental health, ESG, diversity and inclusion, tech for good and inclusive growth.”
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Union Assurance, our Platinum sponsor for being a driving force behind our efforts to prioritize employee health and our event partner Ayubo life for their innovative platform that provided the backbone for our 21-day steps challenge.”
“Moreover, the support extended by our Platinum Corporate Sponsors Dialog Enterprise and Mireka Towers, along with our other sponsors Standard Chartered Bank, CMS, InTalent Asia, Ceylon Cold Stores and RoarAdx, has enhanced our initiatives, to accommodate the diverse needs and preferences of our participants,” stated Jehan Perinpanayagam, Chairman of SLASSCOM.
‘FIT HIT 2024’ is the commencement of SLASSCOM’s endeavours to advocate for health and wellness within the IT/BPM Industry. In the future, they intend to uphold this momentum by enacting enduring strategies that integrate a culture of health and wellness throughout the tech sector.
These encompass initiatives such as promoting ergonomic workspaces, providing wellness programs, and cultivating a supportive atmosphere that encourages employees to prioritize their well-being.
