CMC Networks - Africa Challenge

Work-life balance is an important aspect of a healthy work environment. Maintaining a work-life balance helps reduce stress and helps prevent burnout in the workplace. With the Covid 19 pandemic posing a new dynamic to the work-life balance as employees are confined to working from home, the importance of separating the two for a healthy work-life balance has increased tremendously.

In April 2021 the company embarked on a 365-Day Virtual CMC Networks Africa Challenge, where we as a company aim to run, walk, cycle, move our way across Africa and the Middle East from April 2021 to March 2022. This allows employees of all fitness levels to log their activity, be it navigating the rocky trails on their mountain bikes or enjoying the sunset on a lazy Sunday stroll.

We are in December, almost at the finish line of 2021 (where has the time gone). We are 258-Days into our 365-Day Virtual CMC Networks Africa Challenge, 70% through and we are making great progress. The team has covered over 32 180km to date as we enter Nigeria on the West Coast of Africa and make our way into our final 10 000km stretch down the coast of Gabon, the tip of the DRC and Angola. We will then move inland towar0064s Botswana and then back into South Africa – only 10 213km to go!
