With work having evolved to be faster and more demanding, many organisations are rethinking their approach, positioning employee well-being not as a perk but as a critical foundation for sustained performance and growth.

It’s within this context that SLASSCOM introduced Fit Hit 2026 – not just as a fitness challenge but as a structured push towards better habits and stronger workplace culture. 

Bringing together organisations from across Sri Lanka, Fit Hit 2026 created a shared journey structured around four components: an expert-led podcast series on nutrition, fitness and mental well-being; the 21-Day Step Challenge encouraging daily consistency, a Body Transformation Programme focused on long-term personal change and the 5KM Run that brought everyone together at the end of the journey. 

The finale took place recently at Arcade Independence Square, where teams gathered not just to compete but to reflect consistency, commitment and collective energy built over weeks. In the 21-Day Step Challenge (Individual Category), Disnaka from SimCentric Technologies secured the first place, followed by Thejhaan Koralage from Infomate as the First Runner-Up and Shavi Dias from HSBC as the Second Runner-Up. In the Group Category, HSBC teams dominated the leaderboard, with HSBC (A) taking the first place, followed by HSBC (B) and HSBC (C).

The momentum continued at the 5KM Run. In the male category, Tharindu Wickramasekera from Iron One finished first, with M. Soundrajan from Cliftex Industries and Sanoj from Shirohaba as the Runners-Up. In the female category, Maheshi Yatipansalawa from Cloud Solutions International claimed the first place, followed by Sashiprabha Dharmadasa from Just In Time and Hiruni Rajapaksha from IFS. In the group category, Iron One Team A secured the first place, followed by PSL Development and Iron One Team B.
