Resort launches Pinktober campaign

MARRIOTT International Fiji Resorts launched its Pinktober campaign through its Pink Support program which encourages all female associates to get a routine check-up at a nearby hospital or at the resort.

According to the resort, the initiative launched last year allowed for early detection of breast cancer and other related infections.

Marriott International Fiji and Samoa multi-property vice president and Sheraton and Westin Hotels general manager Neeraj Chadha said breast cancer was largely spoken about behind closed doors but was not something that people acknowledged in public.

“The commitment in raising awareness by the Fiji Cancer Society is commendable and we certainly thank them for this and certainly help the Fijians turning an eye to better awareness,” he said.

“Marriott International in Fiji has made a commitment towards the welfare of its associates and support towards Pinktober.”

He said this year the hotel chain was launching a new mobile platform that would further strengthen their cause.

“Pink Passport was launched just over a year ago, and this is to help our associates keep a better track of their health and most recently we have launched meQuilibrium program.

“This is an app associates download which helps with stress management especially during these times.”

According to the resort, the meQuilibrium program was a proven stress management platform.

“The app allows associates to discover simple techniques to manage stressful thoughts and situations.

“The scientifically proven tool uses behavioural psychology, neuroscience, and analytics to help associates strengthen their resilience.”
