The initiative has led to a significant uptick in employees' health consciousness, evidenced by increased gym attendance post-work hours and more emphasis on nutritious diet choices.

Moreover, the increased communication amongst staff members as a result of participating in WeRUN events has fostered better collaboration and creative problem-solving in their professional endeavors.
