Admiral has successfully relaunched a Couch to 5K initiative in collaboration with Welsh Athletics, aimed at promoting employee wellbeing.
Welsh Athletics created a bespoke Leadership in Running Fitness (LiRF) online course for their employees to support the launch.
The programme, designed to support hybrid working arrangements, has exceeded expectations in fostering a culture of fitness and wellbeing among employees.
Peter Olivier, Cyber Security Business Partner at Admiral led the the initiative and expressed his enthusiasm for its success:
We feel like we have something very special here. We have embraced hybrid workplace running with much more success than we had anticipated.
To celebrate this achievement, employees gathered for a coffee and cake event, highlighting the community spirit fostered by the programme.
Welsh Athletics is excited to continue supporting this initiative and other collaborative efforts, ultimately aiming to encourage more people across Wales to engage in physical activity in and outside of the workplace.
Liz Taylor, Coach Education Manager at Welsh Athletics shared:
Initiatives like these demonstrate the powerful role running can play in improving wellbeing, team cohesion, and overall morale.
We’re thrilled to support Admiral in building a culture of fitness and wellbeing and we look forward to collaborating with other organisations to inspire even more people to embrace physical activity and help grow the family of Athletics here in Wales .
