Jakarta & Sidoarjo – Reaching 15 years for an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) company is a milestone that proves endurance, consistency, and dedication. To welcome its 15th anniversary, PAMITRA EPC Oil and Gas opened the series of celebrations with an activity that symbolizes energy and resilience: the PAMITRA Fun Run. PAMITRA chose running as the kick-off to send a strong message about the importance of employees' physical and mental well-being. This series was not held in just one location but as a sequence spanning from Sidoarjo to Jakarta.
From Sidoarjo to Jakarta: Expanding Energy
Enthusiasm peaked when the Board of Directors attended and joined the run, mingling with employees on the track. The presence of leadership among the team was not merely a symbol of opening the event, but a tangible manifestation of leading by example in adopting an active lifestyle.This wave of positive energy then continued to the second running event held in Jakarta. Located in the iconic Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) area, it was the turn of the employees from PAMITRA's Head Quarter at Equity Tower to enliven the event. Amidst the fast-paced work rhythm of the capital city, this activity at GBK became a refreshing oasis, providing a space for PAMITRA professionals to briefly unwind and breathe fresh air with their colleagues.
More Than Just Sweat: Building a Work-Life Balance Culture
The PAMITRA Fun Run is part of the management's strategic initiative to institutionalize a sports culture and support work-life balance within the PAMITRA environment. In the EPC industry, which is filled with strict deadlines and high safety standards (High-Risk), having excellent physical fitness and a clear mind is a necessity. Through exercising together, barriers between departments are dissolved, replaced by a spirit of sportsmanship and solid camaraderie. On the running track, an engineer can cheer on the finance or supply chain team, creating an emotional bond that will later have a positive impact on work collaboration both in the office and at the project site.
Regarding this initiative, Mr. Shaffan Zain, Director of PAMITRA, shared his perspective: "Running is not just about who reaches the finish line fastest, but about endurance, consistency, and how we encourage each other on the track. Through this series of activities, we want to instill a culture of healthy living as the foundation of the company. In a healthy and happy body, there is a resilient soul!"
Consistency Throughout May
This running spirit does not stop at just those two events. Throughout May, PAMITRA has also initiated regular weekly running activities for employees. PAMITRA's 15th Anniversary series will still be filled with various other inspiring activities. However, one thing is certain: this running kick-off has successfully ignited the spirit of togetherness. With longer breaths and firmer steps, the extended PAMITRA family is ready to welcome the glorious years ahead.
