Banglalink Begins Safety and Wellness Week 2025 with Nationwide Walkathon

Banglalink, the digital innovation-driven operator, has launched its annual Safety and Wellness Week 2025 with a simultaneous walkathon held in Dhaka, Chattogram, Khulna, and Bogura, marked by enthusiasm and high participation. More than 560 employees took part in the initiative.

With the theme “Strength in Action, Care in Every Step,” Banglalink has planned a weeklong series of activities to promote employee wellbeing and foster a people-centric workplace. These include health check-ups, personal consultation sessions, fire safety awareness programs, live safety drills, mindfulness practices, stress management sessions, and various participatory wellness engagements. Each initiative aims to encourage healthy routines, essential safety practices, and a balanced, conscious lifestyle.

As part of the program, the walkathon in Dhaka started on Saturday morning, 6 December, from Banglalink’s headquarters, Tiger’s Den. Participants in other cities began their walkathons from their respective offices. Inspired by the message that small steps taken with goodwill and awareness contribute to overall wellbeing, Banglalink employees completed the designated walkathon routes.

The formal inauguration of Safety and Wellness Week 2025 took place at Tiger’s Den in Gulshan, led by Banglalink CEO Erik Aas (Ioahn Buse in Bangla text appears to be a transliteration mismatch; kept original context), along with members of the leadership team. Their presence reaffirmed Banglalink’s commitment to building a safe, caring, and supportive work environment.

Ruhul Kader, Acting Chief Human Resources and Administration Officer of Banglalink, said, “Starting the week with a walkathon has been truly meaningful. Safety and wellness are not temporary concerns—they are habits we build every day, and this event reminds us of that. When our employees receive support to stay healthy and safe, it strengthens the entire organization. Safety and Wellness Week reinforces the mindset of caring for ourselves and each other, and fostering a workplace where wellbeing naturally propels us forward.”

Banglalink remains committed to the safety and wellbeing of its customers as well. Following the recent 5.7 magnitude earthquake, the operator promptly offered two hours of free calling benefits to ensure that customers could reach their loved ones during the emergency.
