MAEM MAGAZINE 9

CYCLING AND RUNNING ACTION The end of the year is the traditional time for summaries. We are glad that despite the pandemic, thanks to the persistence and commitment of our employees, we can sum up this year's bike and run campaign. The year 2020 brought many significant changes compared to the previous edition.

Some of them have been forced by the epidemic isolation and confinement to homes but most of them are innovations introduced thanks to the ingenuity of the organizer and coordinator of the action - Joanna.

Let’s get straight to the point. What is new?

First, the timing and duration. When in March everything was ready and the action was ready to start in April, a pandemic fell on the eager MAEM employees, like on all of us, effectively stopping all preparations. That is why this year's action, initiated on August 1, lasted only 4 months.

Second, technology. Progress and digitalization did not bypass the MAEM run/ bike campaign this year. Its participants departed from filling out paper reports.

They were replaced by a special company profile on a popular application for athletes. From now on, we only needed to click on the phone to register our achievements.

Third, this year we also gave runners a chance to prove themselves. The campaign was divided into cyclists and runners. Its formula was also extended - this year all the kilometers run by the participants were taken into account those covered on their way to work as well as those covered in their free time.
