Sii fully understands its role, which is why the company has been supporting employees in developing their sports passions for years and building a community of people connected by an active lifestyle. Explore the initiatives that demonstrate how sport, passion, and development are pillars of Sii\u2019s organizational culture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Employee development is more than training and promotions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Sii\u2019s mission is to identify, develop, and promote top talent. That\u2019s why the company invests in its employees not only through training, development programs, and career advancement opportunities, but also by financially supporting their passions and interests. Every year, Sii Poland allocates PLN 1 000 000 to support employees\u2019 passions and volunteering, engaging nearly 3 000 employees annually. As a result, sports, hobbies, and social activities become an important part of Sii\u2019s organizational culture and our approach to employee well-being and engagement.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-nsw-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201d<em>We believe that people grow holistically. Skills developed through training sessions, sports competitions, or pursuing ambitious goals outside of work often translate into professional success. Project management, determination, consistency, teamwork, resilience under pressure, as well as goal setting and achievement are traits shared by both athletes and top specialists,\u201d says <strong>Aleksandra Kuna, CSR\/ESG Manager at Sii Poland.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>That\u2019s why, for years, Sii has been creating an environment where Power People can pursue their passions, meet like-minded individuals, and build relationships that go beyond everyday professional responsibilities, an important element of Sii&#8217;s well-being strategy.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sport at Sii: building a community around shared passions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>At Sii, each of the 14 branches has communities \u2013 groups that bring together employees with shared interests. In total, there are nearly 200 interest groups connecting people through hobbies from various areas \u2013 not just sports. Workers train together, compete in events, and inspire one another.<\/p>\n\n<p>The most active community, the Sii Running Team, brings together nearly 400 members and participates in around 100 sports events across Poland and Europe each year. This April, they took part in the unique Madeira Ultra Trail, and in October you\u2019ll meet them at the Lisbon Half Marathon!<\/p>\n\n<p>Sii also has many dedicated football fans. For two consecutive years, the company organized the football championships, engaging over 100 players from Sii offices across Poland.<\/p>\n\n<p>And that\u2019s not all. In many cities, cycling, triathlon, climbing, tennis, badminton, karting, and rowing groups are thriving. Workers can also practice yoga, reformer Pilates, and many other sports \u2013 there\u2019s something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Passions without limits: ambitious projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The flagship initiative supporting Power People&#8217;s dreams is the Passion Sponsorship Program, now celebrating its 10th Anniversary. In this program, Sii awards grants for developing interests, implementing ambitious projects, and taking on unique challenges \u2013 whether in sports, technology, travel, or social activities.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some conquer mountain trails around Mont Blanc, covering 180 kilometers across France, Italy, and Switzerland. Others explore the world of freediving, learning to control body and mind during demanding training sessions held in Europe\u2019s deepest pool under the guidance of Micha\u0142, a Solution Architect, community leader, and national freediving team coach.<\/p>\n\n<p>There are also remarkable travel adventures. Thanks to the program\u2019s support, Jadwiga, Business Process Manager, and Filip, Associate Project Manager, traveled across the Middle East by motorcycle, visiting Turkey, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>These projects prove that passion knows no limits!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The program also supports athletes competing at the highest level. For several years, the company has supported Piotr, a Senior Test Development Engineer, who successfully competes in sport shooting. In the past year alone, he has won six national and international championship titles or finished as a runner-up in other editions, proving that consistency, dedication, and passion lead to outstanding results.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-nsw-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cThese initiatives perfectly reflect the essence of the Passion Sponsorship Program.
