How much an employee is valued by the company, is directly proportional to the training, experience and the kind of environment that the employee would get there. For a thriving business, you need thriving employees. At Baghirathi, we understand the importance of the overall development of the employee.
For a business, it’s always important to have those who work for you to be fit, healthy and happy. This is done through creating a work culture that promotes health through all aspects of their lives. Since most people spend most of their adult life at work, it’s no surprise that they want to be happy.
In its endeavour to ensure a fit and happy workforce, Baghirathi has encouraged it’s employees to take up stair climbing as a part of their exercise regime. Stair climbing is a unique form of exercise that can have a powerful and positive impact on our employees’ health over time. While most of us think of exercise as 'sport', the scientific evidence shows it is everyday activities like walking and stair climbing that are most closely associated with improved health.
Stair climbing is recommended by doctors and health authorities worldwide because high-quality studies show:
- Climbing just eight flights of stairs a day lowers average early mortality risk by 33%
- Seven minutes stair climbing a day can halve the risk of heart attack over 10 years
- Just two minutes extra stair climbing a day is enough to stop average middle age weight gain
- Stair climbing delivers these benefits by improving our cardiovascular fitness. It's officially classed as a 'vigorous' form of exercise and burns more calories per minute than jogging.
