Driven by a team spirit
FCC employees
participate in
the II Company Race organised
by the ESIC business school
The healthy company concept is making
a deep impression in the Aragón-La Rioja
regional branch. They sent us a brief article
on the companies’ race, organized by the
ESIC business school, which took place on
13 December.
This is what the Human Resources de-
partment of this branch office told us:
Why not participate? Why not run together?
If hundreds of workers go out every day to
provide services in the city wearing uni-
forms with the FCC brand: why not go
and run a distance of eight kilometres? All
together, management and staff, part of a
whole, as a team.
Accordingly, a few days after the race was
announced, a small Healthy Company spa-

The teams...in races, in life, in day-to-day
work, teams are built inch-by-inch, adding
up, adding the sacrifice and efforts of its
members until reaching the goal. This is so-
mething that cannot be mandated or enfor-
ced; this is not what it is about. Each of the
team members will be able to discover that
his colleague is by his side and will make
sacrifices. This is how we ran the race. This
is how we did it as a team.
