If sugar is for coffee, then badminton is for Indonesians. It can\u2019t be denied how much Indonesians are crazy about badminton. Alongside soccer, badminton can arguably be considered as its national sport.<\/p>\n

Which is why last month\u2019s Play Saturday had been an exciting one for our team members in our Malang office. Likewise, we\u2019re equally thrilled to share with you the details and photos of our special badminton edition!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Badminton<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As mentioned in our blog post about employee engagement<\/a>, Play Saturdays are one of the ways we promote health and wellness among team members. Needless to say, they\u2019re also a good way to encourage teamwork and healthy competition. So we\u2019ve incorporated sports day as a part of monthly activities.<\/p>\n

During this badminton edition, we played doubles with 15 teams doing Match Play tournaments.<\/p>\n

Although we haven\u2019t organized a sports day for quite some time now, that doesn\u2019t mean we only resumed playing sports just for this Play Saturday.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, days before the much-awaited tournament, most of us had already been training hard every afternoon in front of our office, especially those who haven\u2019t touched a badminton racket for years now.<\/p>\n

And since badminton is not only a popular participating sport but also a successful spectator event in Indonesia, some of us even brought along our kids and spouses to the arena to witness this exciting competition.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To cap the event, we prepared special prizes for winners of 4 categories:<\/p>\n

Overall tournament winners:<\/strong> Firdaus and Amon
\nBest costume duo:<\/strong> Benny and Deny
\nBest teamwork:<\/strong> Sartika and Cessario
\nSportiest look duo:<\/strong> Angger and Reno<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the matches, we also took this opportunity to organize a simple surprise party for last month\u2019s birthday celebrants: Mira and Fery. Truly, a double celebration for another important milestone in their lives and after a spectacular display of teamwork and sportsmanship.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And yet, our love for this racket sports doesn\u2019t just end with a sports day.<\/p>\n

We now have a scheduled weekly badminton practice to sustain personal health care and team camaraderie outside work\u2014the benefits of which we can bring to our daily office work and relationships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
