Not only for circulation and breath: running is also good for professional activity. It is with this conviction that Nctm Corporate Run was born, a project created on the initiative of Nctm, one of the largest Italian law firms, to induce professionals and managers to evaluate the positive impacts of running on the workplace. The initiative is developed in collaboration with Cassa Forense, Rotary and CSAIn (corporate and industrial sports centres, affiliated to Federturismo-Confindustria) in the belief that time dedicated to sport is not wasted time, but rather produces results on work performance and has benefits on the working environment.
Nctm Corporate Run has identified 10 professionals including lawyers, managers, journalists and freelancers, to undergo a training program developed by Indaflow, Studio AttivAzione and Gamma Studio based on their participation in the Salomon Running Milano competition, scheduled for 17 September on the three distances of 10, 15 and 25 km.
Among the professionals involved in the training program are Roberta Guaineri, Councilor for Tourism, Sport and Quality of Life of the Municipality of Milan, the lawyers Guido Bartalini, Nctm partner, Nunzio Luciano president of Cassa Forense, Claudio Acampora delegate of the Milan Bar Association at the Cassa Forense, Andrea Pernice, Governor of District 2041 Rotary for the year 2017-2018, the journalist Laura Morelli of Financecommunity and as a representative of the entertainment world, Gigi Sammarchi of the famous duo Gigi and Andrea.
During the training, a study will also be conducted to evaluate, through the analysis of psychometric parameters and other scientific indicators, the beneficial effects of sporting activity on work performance.
Another important purpose of the Salomon Running and Nctm Corporate Run will also be to support the international charity project End Polio Now (endpolionow.org) of the Rotary Foundation. This will also be achieved through cooperation with various entities that deal with corporate welfare, which will donate to the Rotary Foundation a portion of the proceeds from their programs purchased by companies for the purpose of participating in the Salomon Running and Nctm Corporate Run, characterized by the RTEPN code ( Run To End Polio Now).
“Nctm Corporate Run – explains Guido Bartalini, lawyer of Nctm – takes its cue from one of the most important races held in the city of London, the Standard Chartered Great City Race, which in 2016 reached the record of 26.626 athletes, bringing together 860 companies participants. Salomon Running Milano, which for years has been promoting the philosophy of running/walking as a healthy lifestyle for everyone at all ages, supports and encourages the participation of all athletes with different professions, united by a passion for running, firmly believing in benefits that physical exercise entails regardless of sporting results. After all – continues Bartalini – the qualities to obtain good professional results are the same as those needed for sporting performance: preparation, dedication, perseverance, respect and loyalty and above all passion”.
