Bosch is once again the sportiest company in Hungary

Bosch is also a sports leader: this year, the company took the top step on the podium for the fourth time in the national “The company runs” (“Fut a cég”) competition organized by BSI (Budapest Sports Office), which is aimed specifically at companies, businesses, institutions and workplace communities. The team from Robert Bosch Kft. and Bosch Rexroth Kft. ran a total of 11,500 kilometers, cycled 4,260 kilometers and swam 700 kilometers for the absolute first place in 2022.

It's a well-known fact that sport has countless benefits: regular exercise has a positive effect not only on our bodies, but also on our mood, well-being and even our performance and work. Research has also shown that sport increases motivation at work, boosts creativity and productivity, and has a community-building effect.

“At Bosch, our greatest asset is our people. Year after year, it is proven how important the role of sport and the community it forms plays in maintaining motivation and through this in the success of the company. At Bosch, we do everything we can to help our associates to have a healthy and productive everyday life. This includes the provision and support of various competitions, sports programs, tickets and sports equipment,” said András Somogyi, vice president of human resources of the Bosch Group in Hungary and the Adriatic region.

Bosch: sports community of 2,000 people, 50 sports clubs
Bosch, one of Hungary's largest employers, has for years been paying special attention to promoting sport and encouraging its employees to exercise regularly at all its sites: in Budapest, Hatvan, Miskolc, Maklár and Eger. Founded in 2013, the company's self-organized sports community, called KSF (Kultur, Sport und Freizeit – Culture, Sport and Leisure), initially aimed to provide regular exercise for colleagues, and when KSF was launched, it offered 8 sports. As a result of persistent work, the community now has around 2,000 members and organizes nearly 50 different sporting, cultural and leisure activities.

“A healthy lifestyle and regular sport require a lot of self-discipline. We are working to maintain this motivation. We all share our successes and achievements. We organize joint training sessions, make videos and try to give useful advice to anyone who comes to us. We usually have more than 100 people participating in the competitions we organize. The greatest confirmation for us is when our colleagues, who have never done sports before and have started a lifestyle change with us, win serious sporting competitions,” says Victor Popa, group leader at Robert Bosch Kft. and head of the Bosch sports community, who himself participates in numerous competitions as a successful amateur runner.

5+1 reasons why sport at work is good for everyone
The Bosch sports community has learned from experience that regular sport not only has a positive impact on health, but also brings success at work. What are the 5+1 areas we can improve through sport and benefit from at work?    

  1. Regularity: the regularity and planning that we are used to in sport can be put to good use at work.
  2. Endurance: training improves our endurance, which makes it easier to cope with the workload.
  3. Coping: sport teaches us that success doesn't always come naturally. It also makes it easier to deal with the stresses at work during the tough times.
  4. Time management: it is often difficult to fit regular exercise into a busy schedule, but learning to manage your time can also help you to manage your workload.
  5. Work-life balance: introducing sport helps to stabilize work-life balance and, in the long term, prevent burnout.

5+1: Thinking and working as a team: sport also improves the performance of companies, because it allows employees to be part of a larger community, where team members support each other and work together to achieve goals. This cohesiveness at work also promotes shared success.
