I recently had the pleasure of attending the Empresa Saludable ("Healthy Business") program organized by the City of Badalona and Reactivació Badalona at the Badalona Centre Internacional de Negocis (BCIN) and aimed at businesses in Badalona, Sant Adrià de Besòs and Montgat. This journey has deeply influenced my approach to employee well-being and has had an impact on Qabiria’s activity.
In Qabiria, we have always been concerned about people’s well-being, and in all honesty, stress levels have always been very low. Through this program, which we have also discussed in the past, we have been able to understand the importance of a holistic approach to wellness on the workplace. The program included a series of free seminars and workshops aimed at business executives so that they could carry out a series of actions that took into account the physical, emotional and mental well-being of staff.
The goal of the program is for companies to care about the well-being of the people they work with and achieve a “healthy company” status. In a healthy environment, employees are more motivated, absenteeism is reduced, and talent is retained.
Especially constructive in this regard was the concluding session, "Developing Emotional Intelligence through Play," presented by Elsa Giménez and Carol Romay of KitCo, a company specializing in games and methodologies for personal development, self-awareness and emotional well-being.
KitCo’s methodology, recognized by the Department of Education of the Generalitat de Catalunya, made the session engaging and informative. I have gained a broader emotional vocabulary, understanding how to further develop emotional intelligence. This playful activity improved understanding of emotions and emotional management, also contributing to overall mental well-being.
At the end of the session, the program’s farewell was held. A Qabiria è stato riconosciuto il certificato di partecipazione al programma Empresa saludable, in riconoscimento della nostra partecipazione attiva a varie sessioni del programma.
I take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all the organizers and participants who helped make this program a success. We hope that a new one will be organized, which we will not fail to attend, to cultivate a more prosperous and healthier working environment!
