Did you know that 9 of the 10 leading causes of death in the Philippines are health related? Are you aware that just by eating better, making small lifestyle changes and doing moderate activity on most days of the week, we can reduce the risk of many diseases and increase our quality of life?
The People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP), the premier organization of HR practitioners and people managers in the country, is advocating health and wellness in the workplace as one of the most important issues that companies need to address today. With this, PMAP has organized an annual nationwide event called National Wellness Day that is being participated by various companies in the country every third Friday of June.
During the National Wellness Day, companies conduct wellness events in their workplaces that includes sponsored healthy lunch and snack; learning sessions on work-life balance, holistic and spirituality; and the 7-Minute PMAP Wellness Moment, a quick wellness activity that involves stretching and meditation done simultaneously across the nation by employees at exactly 3:00 pm.
On 19 September 2015, the organization will hold the first-ever iHeaRt PMAP fun run at the Camp Aguinaldo Grounds, Quezon City as part of the initiatives of PMAP in promoting workplace wellness. There will be three categories: 3K, 5k and 10k with minimal registration fees of P300, P400 and P500, respectively. Aside from the singlet and race bib, runners will receive cool freebies from sponsors. Also, awesome prizes await all race winners per category.
Get your running shoes ready and join this fun-filled and exciting activity. For registration, sponsorship and other inquiries, please call 7261532 or email pmap@pmap.org.ph.
