LABORAtorio: Coubertin in companies

In this bi-weekly article of "LABORAtorio: Coubertin en las empresas", Álvaro discusses the often overlooked obligation of Mexican employers to promote sports activities among employees, as mandated by the Federal Labor Law. This responsibility is typically deprioritized in workplaces.

Here are some key points from the article:

1. Neglected Obligation: As mentioned before, employers in Mexico often neglect their duty to promote sports activities, as required by the Federal Labor Law (LFT).
2. Olympics Opportunity: The upcoming Olympics provide a chance for companies to fulfill this obligation and promote positive organizational values.
3. Lack of Preparation: Unlike the World Cup, the Olympics are often overlooked by companies until they begin, leading to last-minute planning.
4. Immediate Action Needed: Companies without an Olympic event program should act now to organize activities, no matter how small.
5. Diverse Activities: Suggested activities include friendly office competitions and team challenges to improve integration and productivity.
6. Inspirational Stories: Sharing athletes' stories of overcoming adversity can motivate employees and align with company values.
7. Emotional Benefits: The celebratory spirit of the Olympics can enhance team unity and collaboration if harnessed in the workplace.
