With changes in work practices and the “always-on” culture, employees can often end up skipping lunch or eating unhealthy snacks. Long working hours can also result in limited time to prepare healthy meals or do physical activities.

The new working patterns need to be adapted to the job, the worker and the situation, and employers need to listen to the circumstances to meet the needs of their employees and ensure their health, wellbeing, and ability to do their job the best they can.

Employees have highlighted that instruments such as meal vouchers provide a practical solution for lunch that can meet both the social and biological needs of workers. Numerous studies have noted that nutrition is a key driving factor in people’s mental health and that it contributes greatly to employees’ wellbeing and engagement.

In the occasion of , we need to talk about the importance of creating healthy workplaces.
As work environments play a key role in workers’ health, employers have the responsibility to ensure their workers remain healthy despite their style of work changing so much. One way to do so is by implementing workplace health promotion programmes to ensure the well-being and productivity of workers even during teleworking.
🍎 A key part in this healthier workforce is nutrition. Investing in workplace nutrition and employees’ well-being leads to higher morale, productivity and employee retainment among other benefits and is just sound business practice.

🌿 The FOOD Programme focuses on the working day as a setting for health promotion. The programme seeks to promote balanced nutrition towards employees during their working day and to develop access to healthy choices by working with restaurants.

🌎The programme offers an extensive set of tools and resources that are created together with health professionals. Although obesity is rising across the globe, different countries face different kinds of challenges and studies show that tailored approached programmes work better. In this aim, each FOOD country works with its national partners and creates tools and recommendations adapted to its local context.
