The Global Corporate Challenge (GCC) is a worldwide initiative with the objective of bringing more activity into the lives of office-bound employees, while also building colleagues’ ties through teamwork and a positive competitive spirit. “We value our employees’ health, and stress the importance of occupational health throughout our company,” said Dr. Mansoor Anwar, Director – Medical and Occupational Health Services, du. “There are already health-boosting factors in place that our colleagues can benefit from, such as our in-house clinic, a smoke-free working environment, swimming pool and gym facilities, but we like to encourage our employees to get active as much as possible. A little bit of friendly competition is the ideal motivation to get people up and moving, which is why we instigated participation in the Global Corporate Challenge .” “The GCC aligns very neatly with our own efforts to bring more activity into our colleagues’ lives,” he added.
