Amidst the busy schedule of corporate family, a minute or two reserved for physical exercises is much appreciated and valued.
It is upon this background that most Corporate organizations encourage their staff to engage in such healthy activities in a bid to maintain physical and mentally fit bodies.
It was business as usual as the 2022 Corporate Games officially kicked off at the Kyambogo Cricket Grounds in Kampala on Sunday, 10th July.
Several corporate companies featured in match day one of the Corporate Games that will be played on every first Sunday of the virgin month.
These games return to Uganda’s sporting sphere after a two-year absence because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Unlike the previous editions, the financial year will be considered than the usual season.
That said, the 2022-2023 season will run from July to May with an awards dinner in June.
Ian Rumanyika, the chairperson of the Corporate Games entity encourages all companies to come and board, optimally utilize this platform for their employers to keep fit.
In the same vein, Rumanyika urges the companies active to use the Corporate Games as a means for team building, networking and improving physical fitness.
I encourage all participating companies to use this platform as an opportunity to team build, network, improve physical fitness. I have lost a colleague while seated in her chair due to health complications. Many employees are tied up possibly for long hours behind their desks in the Corporate world. We need to keep healthy and fit to enable us deliver in a happy enjoyable environment. I therefore encourage all other corporate that are still thinking about joining to come on board for the next outing on 2nd August 2022.
Ian Rumanyika, Chairperson Corporate Games
