Malé, Maldives – June 4, 2025
Ooredoo Maldives staff have collectively run an impressive 10,000 kilometers in May alone, marking a powerful start to the company’s annual Brigade Pace The Year Challenge — an internal wellness initiative designed to foster wellness, health, fitness, and friendly competition across the organization.
Organized in collaboration with iRunners, the challenge spans May 2025 to January 2026, inviting Ooredoo employees to walk or run as much as they can throughout the year. Participants track their distances using Strava, with results updated on a live leaderboard.
Ooredoo Brigades is an employee engagement tool, created and owned by Ooredoo to drive promote camaraderie and team spirit. For this Brigade event, each month, the top five runners or walkers from each brigade are awarded medals, recognizing their dedication and progress.
"At Ooredoo, we believe that health and wellbeing is the foundation of performance — both individually and collectively,” said Fazna Mansoor, Director Human Resources at Ooredoo Maldives. “The enthusiasm our teams have shown in clocking over 10,000 kilometers in just one month is a testament to their passion, discipline, and the strong spirit of camaraderie we’ve cultivated. Brigade Pace The Year is not just about movement — it’s about building healthier habits, stronger connections, and a culture where well-being is truly valued. This challenge perfectly embodies our values of Caring for one another, Connecting as a team, and Challenging ourselves to grow beyond limits"
“The energy and commitment we’ve seen from the Ooredoo Brigade in May is truly inspiring,” said Coach Shujau from irunners. “I believe more organizations should follow the trend set by Ooredoo Maldives and foster a wellness culture at the workplace”
With eight months to go, the Ooredoo Brigade Pace The Year Challenge promises to continue driving momentum, kilometer by kilometer, toward a stronger, healthier workforce.
