With the goal of improving productivity and well-being, sporting events reduce stress and develop team cohesion among employees.
“Sportsfest is important in Alliance to foster camaraderie and to promote a healthy lifestyle. Having a sedentary lifestyle is really common to our employees. Through Sportsfest we can improve the overall outlook of our employees by joining their preferred sports and being in the moment during the games.” Sportsfest chairman and HR-EEC Charisma Dacua said.
Alliance continues to organize corporate sports and events to generate more employee engagement in line with its LiveIT campaign to promote work-life balance.
