# A shared sports session for Prosero employees in Tampere

In Tampere, Prosero employees play floorball together on Mondays. The shared sports session is a chance to get to know other Prosero colleagues and enjoy the fun of exercise in a relaxed, ‘just for fun’ spirit.

Prosero employees in Tampere have pulled together and decided to have some fun playing floorball outside working hours. The first games have now been played, and although there was only a handful of participants, a good team spirit was found straight away and everyone worked up a sweat.

The person who came up with the idea and got the shared sports session started is Kalle Perälä, a systems specialist at PAP Group.

“I had been along to a friend’s work floorball session a couple of times. It occurred to me that it’s a shame PAP doesn’t have enough people in Pirkanmaa for something similar, and then it occurred to me: how about the whole of Prosero?”

In addition to PAP Group, Lukkoluket and Ajan Lukko were enthusiastic about the idea. The shared sports session offers a chance to get to know people from different companies other than through work. At the session, you can put work aside and focus on people as people. “The atmosphere and team spirit were really good. Nobody took the game too seriously; it was a healthy ‘just for fun’ approach all round, which is how I think it should be,” Kalle says after the first session.

This time, as there were only a few players, there were no goalkeepers in the game. Even so, the game went well. “Even as kids, we always managed to organise games in the yard, even without a goalkeeper in sight,” Kalle says. However, those who attended the first session hope that bigger teams can be put together in the future. The plan is to continue the sports session if there are enough participants during the spring season. After the summer holidays, the time or venue may change, for example, or different sports may be tried if there are enough keen fellow athletes.

So, Kalle, would you recommend shared sports sessions to other locations or companies as well?

“Yes, I recommend that the whole of Prosero organises more groups, wherever it is at all possible to get enough players. At the same time, you may get to know other Prosero people, if you don’t already.”

PAP Group wishes everyone the joy of exercise this spring!
