The management initiated the company-wide basketball league as part of the health and wellness program of the company which aims not only to promote camaraderie and sportsmanship but also to advocate a healthy lifestyle among its employees. Said event was participated by 10 teams from Fabtech Group of Companies and two other teams from our sub-contractors Halton and LindenStrauss.
The company recognizes that playing sports is a key strategy for reducing stress because the body is able to release feel-good endorphins while doing so. Moreover, it also contributes to mental health, helping to prevent depression and increase self-esteem and body image. Lastly, it also benefits individuals in the social aspect by strengthening and developing friendships with teammates.
