KOZHIKODE: The employees of textile shops face gruelling working conditions because they have to stand in showrooms all the time.
But a leading textile shop in the city has given top priority to the health of its employees and launched a unique scheme of physical and mental fitness.
The Kalyan Kendra provides its employees classes on meditation, strengthening mind power and other recreational activities one hour before the start of the work.
There is an aerobics class for over 100 employees under the guidance of noted aerobics trainer Abdul Majeed.
“These ladies and young men are doing the aerobics steps much better than anyone else,” Majeed said. Such classes promote behavioural changes among them and improve their health and quality of life.
The classes are from 9.30 a.m. to 10.30 a.m. after which the employees go to their work.
“The health of our employees is very important. Soon we will start sessions on yoga,” said general manager of Kalyan Kendra, K. Santhosh Kumar.
According to Asanghatitha Meghala Thozhilali Union (AMTU) activist P. Viji, such an initiative will set an example to other textile shops also and bring up a friendly atmosphere for the employees.
