PRESS RELEASE
Move To Excellence named finalist in Daman Corporate Health Awards 2018.
Move To Excellence has been selected as one of the finalists in the annual Daman Corporate Health Awards, a program that recognises wellness initiatives in the work place in the UAE.
Out of thousands of entries, Move to Excellence was selected by an esteemed panel of judges in the Corporate Wellness Partner of the Year Award category.
“It’s an honour for us at Move to Excellence to be recognized for being a leading corporate wellness partner in the region. We believe in promoting physical activity in the workplace through our innovative solutions to counteract the negative effects of sedentary office environments. Prolonged sitting such as at a desk is associated with poorer health outcomes, including an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity and neck and back pain. Some studies even suggest it to be a major risk factor for some types of cancer and mental illness.” Said A.J Sahloul, Director – Wellness & Learning Innovations
Move to Excellence is a provider of innovative Wellness and Learning solutions such as treadmill desks, bike desks and standing desks. It also supports active learning with its proprietary system LearnAndMove.com. In 2018, Move to Excellence supported the Department of Health in its 10k steps challenge.
“This year, we received yet another overwhelming response from the market with a 19% increase in entries from last year – a testament to the increasing number of companies in the UAE which are recognising the value and importance of having wellness programmes in the workplace,” said John Emmerson, Events Director, MEED, the leading business intelligence provider in the Middle East and organisers of the annual awards programme.
Organised by MEED, the prestigious awards programme is supported by Health and Wellness partners Fruitful Day; as well as our headline sponsor, Daman.
The full list of finalists is available online at www.corporatehealthawards.meed.com. The final set of winners will be announced on 24 October 2018 at The Westin Abu Dhabi Golf Resort.
