Physical Challenge
Take The Stairs
Type of Activity: Step Challenge Duration: 4 Weeks
Resource Link: Stairs
This challenge requires slightly more guidance from the HRM than the Trek to the Summit challenge, because it also tracks vertical distance (from taking the stairs).
This is a four week challenge to encourage employees to look at easy ways to add physical activity to their day. Little things like taking the stairs can encourage healthy habits and make employees aware of how they can add exercise to their day in various ways.
