Health-promoting activities

The „Take Health by the Horns” programme motivating employees to be physically active, follow healthy diet and fight stress was continued for another year in a row at Bank Pekao. The willingness to exercise outdoors and act for the benefit of others was combined in one action „MiLOVE runs with Żubr – helping by running”, during which „virtual” miles collected by employees during walks or runs were used for a noble cause. Thanks to the involvement of nearly 400 people and the over 20,000 miles they covered, Pekao Bank provided support to three young scholarship holders of the Run into the Future Programme. The issue of healthy eating was devoted to 14 webinars with a dietitian, seasonal menu suggestions, published tips, recipes and culinary curiosities. The „Stress Reduction Program in 12 Steps”, based on the exercise of mindfulness, focused on strengthening the mental resilience of employees and techniques for counteracting stress. The above activities were complemented by a broad preventive campaign conducted with PZU Health physicians. Its aim was both to draw attention to the special protection of health during COVID-19, and to emphasize the need for regular examinations and not postponing them due to the pandemic. As every year, training in first aid was also carried out – including the procedure in the event of suspected coronavirus infection in their programme.
