Stay sharp. Be focused. Do one thing at a time. Focus is crucial for results in many sports and just as important in traffic. During the international MONO Gelpenberg Open in Aalden, traffic safety and top sports come together. MONO Business is a proud partner of this top sporting event where concentrated action counts, on the grass and on the road.
Attention in Sports and Traffic
Henk Jumelet, Deputy for Traffic and Transport and Sports of the Province of Drenthe:
“In golf, it’s all about sharpness, concentration, and precise action. The same goes for traffic. MONO means: focusing on one thing at a time, driving without distractions such as your phone. This way, we can prevent accidents. As a province, we strive together with our partners for zero traffic casualties. It’s great that this message comes together with international-level sports in Aalden.”
MONO as Part of Together Towards Zero
The collaboration with the tournament fits within the Province of Drenthes ambition to work towards zero traffic casualties. Under the program Together Towards Zero, governments, companies, and social partners work together to reduce accidents caused by distractions.
MONO Business provides a practical tool: it encourages employers and employees to reduce distractions in traffic and to be fully alert on the road.
Logical Connection with MONO Business
Jaap Gernaat, club manager of Golf Club De Gelpenberg: “We are very happy that MONO Business is a partner of this tournament. Many of our business relations play here regularly, so the connection is logical. As a golf club, we are proud ambassadors of MONO Business. We believe it’s important that people are mindful of their attention on the road, just like on the golf course.”
