At Camunda we support and encourage our employees to get physically active.

Besides the obvious benefits of physical health and weight control, exercise is a natural and effective anti-anxiety treatment. It relieves tension and stress, boosts physical and mental energy, and enhances well-being through the release of endorphins. Anything that gets you moving can help.


Note on reimbursements for 2023 - The People Ops team will collect receipts from w/c 8th of January for submission & payout in February's payroll run. Communications on submission will come w/c 8th January.
