This summer, SMS partnered with Cigna to beat the quarantine blues by engaging SMS employees and family members to participate in a 6-week fitness challenge. The challenge encouraged friendly competition between colleagues and teams to see who had the most fitness activity each week. Winning teams were able to chose a charity of their choice for a monetary donation from SMS and employees also had the opportunity to win gift cards in weekly drawings. Wellness and engagement has been key to healthy and productive employees during the pandemic. The SMS Fitness Challenge allowed employees to stay fit, challenge colleagues, and support their favorite charity all at the same time! Check out more details in the link below.
