“The communications manager at any level, especially in the financial industry is saddled with so much and it takes its toll on you mentally, emotionally, and psychologically as you carry out your job not because it is designed so, it just what comes with the job. You have so much to process, to do and this takes its toll generally on the well-being of comms (communications) manager and you find out that there is so much to do that sometimes you fail to pay attention to your body, to your state of mind, to your emotional and mental health which is vital to your being able to do your job and do it excellently well. This initiative has come to promote general wellness of your being, from feeding to lifestyle, habits just to teach easy things to do to stretch oneself,
“it is also metaphoric. It is also a way that speaks to the fitness and wellness of all the financial institutions in terms of the deposit banks, the mainstream banks if I can put it that way. It is symbolic as we are also passing the message across that we are all fit, we all come together, we are all collaborators, we are all healthy and we are there for our customers
“The third message is that of partnership of unity, at ACAMB we have one voice. Yes we seem to be in competition but we are together, it is the same market, the same industry. The things that affect one bank can affect others. We want to show that synergy between us as an industry and let the world out there know that this is a partnership. Yes, we are individual Banks with different logos, different names but at the same time we have one purpose and that is our customers and we are here to make sure you (customers) are okay-served, satisfactorily ” Ozena Utulu, ACAMB’s Social Secretary and Chairperson of Maiden Edition of ACAMB’s Aerobics & Health Meet provided deep insight into the event scheduled for Saturday, July 30, 2022.
