The binomial company/physical activity could sound strange; especially for sedentary work such as office jobs. But, it takes very little to have some exercise and, thus, to contribute to the adoption of healthier lifestyles.

Besides personal motivation, there are many Companies that promote health in the workplace through dedicated activities. Among these, PIUSI is partner of the WHP – Workplace Health Promotion - since 2019.

Among the various initiatives, including the distribution of fruit, an incentive to physical activity also stands out: a stair for PIUSalute! The Company, which is spread over 3 floors, promotes the use of stairs instead of elevators to go up and down. A movement of moderate duration and intensity that represents an important element in contrasting the risk factor associated to sedentary lifestyle. Thus, all elevators have been integrated with a simple and direct message: choose stairs and remember you are doing something good for yourself.

Recently, an American survey highlighted that 53.9% of people see the messages placed near elevators with invitation to use stairs as a positive attitude and facilitate the indirect awareness of all the benefits that can be achieved. They essentially act as static motivators for physical activity.

Moreover, during lunchtime, the group “break on the way” organizes every day (accordingly to weather conditions) a 30-minute walk coordinated by an internal Walking Leader for a healthy tour.

Thus we are sure: a stair, or a walk, makes PIUSalute!
