Last month our resident foodie and salesman extraordinaire, Greg Berg went to management to revive an old weight loss challenge the sales staff used to do. With a year of the Covid diet (comfort food and homemade bread) under our now expanded belts; our General Manager Shams Ahmad, thought it was a great idea but should be opened up to the entire staff and extended over 8 weeks.

“The Pandemic era has been a tough one for all of us.” says Shams “Mental health has been a key focus in our lives, and exercise and a healthy mindset is recognized as an essential element in building and maintaining mental fitness. With this challenge, we wanted to motivate everyone to make healthy choices and exercise. Healthier employees are happier employees.”

To make it even more appealing to join in, foster a healthier mindset and motivate participants; a 1st place prize of $1,000.00 cash to the staff member with the greatest weight loss percentage, and a 2nd place prize of $250.00 to the participant with the highest weight loss recorded in their department (5 different departments).

Over 30 participants do a weigh-in every Monday to stay on track. The biggest challenge for many will be staying strong through the Easter weekend for the final weigh-in on April 5th.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL PARTICIPANTS!
