At Plusnet, we have always been committed to the well-being of our staff and to corporate social responsibility. That’s why last month, through our well-being platform, we launched an initiative that not only encourages physical activity among all Plusnet employees but also allows us to support a charitable cause.
So, at the beginning of last month, we created a team challenge with the goal of reaching a total of 600,000 steps before the end of the month, and the first team to achieve this would win a Plusnet t-shirt.
But the real prize was another: for every team that reached the 600,000 step goal, Plusnet would donate a month’s worth of clean water to the Unicef foundation, to aid children affected by the earthquake that occurred a few months ago in Syria and Turkey. This initiative was a great success among employees, who were fully committed to achieving the goal, with over 41% of the staff participating. They collaborated in teams and competed healthily to accumulate all the necessary steps. Furthermore, we have observed that this activity has been a stimulus for the physical health of our staff, who have increased their daily activity and improved their overall well-being. Step by step, until it becomes routine!
But the most important aspect of this initiative was the opportunity to support a charitable cause. In total, Plusnet has donated the equivalent of four months of clean water to Unicef, helping more than 774 children affected by the earthquake to access the resources and care they need to improve their situation.
For Plusnet, this collaboration is essential, as it allows us to contribute to improving the living conditions of those in need. Therefore, we can only express our gratitude to those who have been adding steps this month to achieve this goal. Thank you!
In conclusion, we believe that carrying out this initiative has been a complete success, not only because it has encouraged physical activity and well-being among our teams but also because it has given us the opportunity to support a charitable cause that aligns with our values and our mission as a company. We are very proud of the involvement and commitment of our people, and we hope to continue promoting such initiatives in the future.
