SLASSCOM (Sri Lanka Association for Software and Services Companies) has launched FIT HIT 2024, a two-month wellness program aimed at the physical and mental well-being of Sri Lanka’s IT/BPM professionals.
FIT HIT 2024 arises from the realisation that many professionals in the IT sector spend prolonged hours in front of computers, leading to significant health concerns. As such, this initiative focuses on educating, engaging, and instilling healthy habits in the workforce.
Chief Executive Officer of Union Assurance, Senath Jayatilake said, “At Union Assurance, we believe that a person can lead a well-balanced life by improving a combination of their physical and emotional well-being. That is why we are happy to extend our support to FIT HIT 2024, a dynamic platform empowering participants to proactively take charge of their lives and make positive strides towards self-improvement. We extend our best wishes to all participants, and hope they discover the essential tools to lead their lives to their fullest potential.”
AyuBo Life enriches FIT HIT 2024 by conducting webinars led by health and wellness experts. Following the webinars, participants will embark on a 21-day STEP Challenge. This competitive online step tracking system encourages individuals and teams to elevate their physical activity levels, serving as a catalyst for integrating fitness into their daily routines.
FIT HIT 2024 also offers optional ‘Couch to 5km’ training sessions held over seven consecutive Thursday evenings at Vihara Maha Devi Park, led by experienced fitness coaches.
The Grand Finale is a five kilometre walk/run and wellness morning at Viharamahadevi Park in Colombo on March 3, fostering camaraderie and a shared commitment to well-being among the IT/BPM community.
Chairman SLASSCOM, Jehan Perinpanayagam said, “FIT HIT 2024 embodies our commitment of investing in the well-being of the workforce, cultivating a culture that prioritises both physical and mental health. This initiative aims to create a tech workforce in Sri Lanka that is not only healthier but also more vibrant and resilient, poised to drive the nation’s technological advancement.”
