Health and Wellbeing at RWS

In our Health and Wellbeing section this time we would like to let you know about the RWS initiative‚ ‘Bike to Work‘. 

Every May our offices come alive with this initiative, bringing employees from around the world together. What started as a local project in Brno has gradually expanded, and today, colleagues from different corners of the world are joining in. In previous years almost a hundred employees from Brno and Hradec Králové participated, and this year, colleagues from other branches have joined as well. The goal is to log as many kilometres as possible throughout May – whether by biking, walking, or running. 

Strengthening community together 

Bike to Work is not just about movement; it’s about team spirit. Participants share route tips, motivate each other, and take part in organized rides. This shared goal helps build a strong sense of community, enhances workplace culture, and reinforces our responsibility to society and the environment.

Benefits for health and the planet 

What about you? Are you using a bicycle to get around too? Using a bicycle is a sustainable and healthy choice that brings numerous benefits for individuals and society alike. 

• Cycling is a great way to improve fitness – it strengthens muscles, supports cardiovascular health, and helps maintain a healthy weight. Plus, it’s gentle on the joints, making it accessible to a wide range of people. 
• Regular exercise reduces stress, boosts mood, and supports mental wellbeing. Being outdoors in the fresh air has calming effects and can enhance focus and productivity. 
• Every kilometre cycled, instead of driven, helps reduce our carbon footprint. By promoting eco-friendly transportation, we help lower greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to cleaner air. 

Bike to Work is not just a fitness challenge for us – it’s a path to better health, a stronger community, and a more sustainable future.
