Why Focus on Nutrition in the Workplace?

What we eat and drink impacts our health in so many ways.

  • Our ability to concentrate and focus.
  • How well we manage stress and cope with pressure.
  • Our energy levels.
  • The way our brain works and how well it works.
  • Can increase or decrease our risk for chronic lifestyle diseases like, diabetes or obesity.
I can’t think of a bigger factor that impacts workplace productivity, energy, creativity, stress and health than just eating real whole foods.  

We are spending over 50% of our waking hours working and food is everywhere at work.

  • Vending machines
  • Birthday Celebrations
  • Meeting and Events
  • Lunch Room Treats
  • Candy Dish
  • Fundraisers
  • Food Trucks
  • Lunches
  • Snacks at Desk
  • …
It’s standard for companies today to have a wellness program but how many incorporate a nutrition program?  If we don’t address the food choices that people make, all the wellness services and interventions that many businesses provide may not have the impact needed to make positive healthy changes. 

When employers implement strategies to improve the food environment, offer healthier choices, provide access to a nutritionist and nutrition education, they can influence and improve their employee’s diets and ultimately their health. 

These healthy food habits don’t just stay at the office, they make their way into employee off-time.  This leads to families eating healthier.

According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention, healthier diets could save businesses around $87 billion in direct costs, such as insurance premiums and worker’s compensation claims, as well as indirect cost such as lost productivity and even in lost lives.


Imagine what would be possible in a workplace with increased productivity, less absenteeism and healthier, happy employees.
