Workplace health and wellness programs influence an organization’s bottom line. Healthy employees are at work more often, they have more energy, they are more alert, and they are more productive.

 

Workplace health and wellness programs don’t have to be a huge investment, nor do they have to be complicated.  Any organization, large or small, can make simple plans to support healthy eating and active living through the workplace.  

Let Whole Foods Nutrition support your organization in the implementation of a workplace health and wellness program. Whether a partner from the get go, involved in the planning phases, or simply providing the nutrition know-how your organization needs, Whole Foods Nutrition offers flexible support that will meet your company’s unique needs.

 Employers know that helping employees be healthier makes good business sense.

Workplace Eating Environment Assessment and Improvement Plans

Research shows that a healthy environment leads to healthy behaviour. At work this means making sure that the healthy choice is the easy choice for staff in the work place.

Whole Foods Nutrition can assess your eating facilities and staff rooms and can work with you to come up with a plan to improve the food and eating environment in your work place.  Creating guidelines or policies around the types of snacks your organization will provide in your vending machines, or the type of foods your organization will provide at meetings shows your staff that you value their health.
