Lotus in Motion brings employees together for a day of integration and healthy practices
February has been a month dedicated to health, wellness, and team building at Instituto Lotus. Under the theme “Lotus in Motion,” the construction company Lotus Cidade organized special activities to encourage healthy habits and strengthen team spirit among its employees. The highlight of the program was the 1st Lotus Run and Walk, held on Saturday, February 22, at Parque da Cidade in Brasilia, which also featured functional training and Jiu-Jitsu sessions. The event brought together over 70 company employees for a morning of sports, health, and connection.
“It was gratifying to see our team’s engagement in an event that reinforces important values for Lotus: health, well-being, and integration. Initiatives like this show that we can grow together with quality of life and purpose,” highlights Luiz Felipe Hernandez, one of the founding partners of Lotus.
For Ruy Hernandez, also a partner at the construction company, the event reflects the company’s culture: “We believe that a healthy work environment goes beyond the physical space. We want everyone to feel good, valued, and motivated. Lotus in Motion was proof that we are on the right track,” he states.
Roberto Machado Gerhardt, a real estate agent, shared an inspiring testimony: “Today was a special day for me. After two years of a cardiac revascularization surgery, I managed to complete a 5 km run. The Lotus event was very important in this process. Among colleagues and friends, I found the motivation to overcome myself at 57 years old and return, without risks, to a level I had left behind.”
The event also featured the presence of sports nutritionist Luiz Tannuri. During the meeting, the importance of a balanced diet and practices that contribute to a healthier life were discussed. To reinforce the message, a table with healthy snacks was offered, promoting awareness about good eating habits.
Gabriela Viana, Portfolio Director at Lotus and project lead at Instituto Lotus, adds: “These initiatives reinforce Lotus commitment to providing a healthy and welcoming work environment, encouraging sports, quality of life, and the well-being of the entire team.”
