One Team Together
At Aforza, we’re not just a fast growing software company – we’re a team driven by values, camaraderie, and a shared passion for health and wellbeing. Our journey together extends beyond the digital world; it’s about fostering connections, pushing boundaries, and celebrating milestones together. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a special achievement: our Aforza Run Club has officially broken through the 1,000-kilometre mark!
From the onset, our company culture has placed a genuine emphasis on the “human” element. It’s not just a buzzword; it’s a guiding principle that sits at the core of everything we do. Whether it’s through flexible work arrangements, wellness initiatives, or team bonding activities, we prioritise the holistic wellbeing of our employees. The Aforza Run Club exemplifies this commitment and is a real testament to our dedication to promote a healthy work-life balance.
Aforza Run Club
Twice or thrice a week, rain or shine, members of the Aforza family lace up and hit the pavement, exploring the vibrant cities around our offices. Whether it’s a brisk morning jog or a post-work sunset run, the camaraderie is infectious as colleagues-turned-running buddies hit the streets, parks, and iconic landmarks, collectively logging kilometres towards a common goal.
But our commitment to wellness doesn’t end with running; it’s about cultivating a supportive community where every achievement is captured and celebrated. In fact, every run is immediately recorded, shared, and celebrated on our dedicated Slack channel—a digital hub where high-fives, words of encouragement, and playful banter abound.
The Rules Are Simple
The Aforza Run Club rules are simple. All runs must start and end at an Aforza office, and proof of the run (usually Strava) must be posted to our slack channel that same day. The only exception to this rule is when the team is travelling to meet customers around the world. In fact, we’ve had runs logged in Chicago, Miami, Dubai, Singapore and Madrid over the last year.
Last year, the Aforza Run Club took part in the Hampton Court 10k. This was a special race, running together around the castle grounds and down the River Thames. Every member crossed the finish line, testament to our collective teamwork, perseverance and encouragement.
1,000kms Crossed
This week, we reached another significant milestone: 1,000 kilometres collectively run as a team. Yes, that’s a million metres of early morning jogs, runs after work and team building together. We could have literally run from London to Berlin (932 kms) with this coverage!
Here’s to breaking through barriers, surpassing milestones, and staying healthy together. Because at Aforza, our greatest achievements are not measured in kilometres, but in the victories that define us and the friendships that bring us together.
Onward, to the next finish line!
