UST Global’s Wellness Mile

UST Global( http://wwww.ust-global.com) the largest IT company in Technopark as well as in Kerala, organized a wellness program called the wellness mile on 20th August 2008 in Technopark aimed at promoting good health and well being of its employees thus encouraging a healthy working environment.

The motto of the event was – ‘One step further… towards caring and sharing‘, which is of course an important step to watch and learn for all the techies in IT companies. It is found that among the IT professionals the rate of health impairment is high, with the bug fixing and deadlines taking a heavy toll on mental and physical health. The time schedules keep them away from exercise too. Less than 10-15% of Technopark employees travel by foot to reach office everyday. The much appreciated event is a preface for every IT employee to think about their personal health.
