SIPAT 2025 at Mercosul Motores: Caring for our people is what moves us!
Mental Health, Workplace Safety, and Women's Protection
Here at Mercosul Motores, we believe that our true engine is the people who make everything happen. That's why, between July 14th and 18th, our SIPAT 2025 – the Internal Week for the Prevention of Accidents at Work – took place, with a schedule packed with content, care, well-being, and, of course, a lot of positive energy! And it wasn't just a week of lectures and announcements... It was a true dive into what matters most: the physical, emotional, and social health of everyone who is part of our team.
Phrase Contest: Creativity at its peak
To start things off right, we launched a phrase contest and had several incredible entries! The winning phrase came from Alexandre Calgaro, from the Quality department, who nailed it with: “Protected Mind, Safe Body, Fully Free Woman”. Inspiring, right? And it perfectly summed up the spirit of our SIPAT!
Mental Health: Because taking care of your mind is also prevention
The week started on a high note with Therapist Danielle Höehr, who brought the theme "Reiki and Meditation: Expanding your consciousness and presence". It was that moment of pause and breath that everyone needs—with practical tips to calm the mind and face daily life with more lightness. And at the closing, we had Psychologist Carine Peres Focardi Cardoso, talking about “Caring for the Caregivers: Burnout Prevention in the Workplace”. The lecture was a real wake-up call for those living in turbo mode: recognizing the signs of exhaustion and seeking balance became a serious (and necessary!) conversation.
Women's Protection and Social Awareness: Everyone together in this fight
We also had deep and transformative conversations, welcoming Police Chief Dr. Thalita G. Andrich, who spoke with authority on the “Civil Police's Role in Combating Violence against Women” and how everyone can be part of the change. Psychologist Ana Paula Costamilan, along with Nurse Daiane da Rosa, also brought a very important topic: "The impact of alcoholism on the social and family life of the individual, and the services available from public agencies." There was a lot of exchange, reflection, and valuable information that goes beyond the company's walls.
Self-Care & Well-being: Because you deserve this moment
Who says there's no time for self-care at work? We had a whole afternoon dedicated to the female audience, with Massage Therapist Adriane Schneider, Biomedical Esthetician Dr. Marília Ganzer, and Executive Advisor Deli Cortivo with the lecture, "Self-care: the new trend. A ritual of women for women!" A special moment to recharge energies and remember that self-esteem is also health. And there was more: with the support of Ótica Lauro, we offered free vision tests and, subsequently, ophthalmologist appointments, because taking care of eye health is also prevention!
Engagement that feels good!
There was no shortage of participation! Throughout the week, we had prize raffles and many moments of interaction that showed how important (and fun!) SIPAT is when everyone gets involved.
Our energy comes from people!
SIPAT 2025 was proof that safety, health, and well-being can—and should—go hand in hand in a light, welcoming, and participatory way. Here at Mercosul, we truly take care of those who are part of our history.
Because, at the end of the day, a strong, healthy, and respected team is what really moves our motors!
