Super 6 Winner Shout Out

In the previous year, I had the opportunity to take part in the Super 6 Well-Being Challenge and emerged as the winner for the month of August-22. Throughout this challenge, I recounted my personal experiences of healing and personal development. The Super 6 Well-Being Challenge serves as an excellent platform for AECOM employees around the world to share their own stories of well-being, which have served as inspiration for prioritizing our own wellness in life and allocate time for our well-being amidst our regular work commitments. I am honoured to be a member of a company that values and promotes my overall wellness, enabling me to spend quality time with my AECOM colleagues.
