More Companies Investing in Employee Health through Nutrition Education
Last week I had the pleasure of running a Nutrition Workshop at this forward thinking Facilities Services company. They invited me in to educate their Engineers, Project Managers and Administrative staff on how to improve their physical & mental health through nutrition.
I run a number of regular and bespoke workshops for businesses who are invested in promoting wellness in the workplace. Nutrition education is simply lacking in the U.K. and it is the key to making better choices for your health. Employers realise that healthy employees are not only more productive, but they are also more engaged, energised, and resilient.
Managing Energy & Stress with Nutrition
During the workshop we covered subjects including Understanding Macro’s, Ultra Processed Foods, Managing Energy and Stress with Nutrition. There was a great deal of engagement around the subject of managing stress, nutrition is often overlooked as a key part of our stress resilience. Without enough fuel and hydration at the right times our cortisol levels will increase and this is exacerbated with caffeine.
Nutrition in The Office, On The Road & On The Tools
The teams within this Facilities Services Business have differing roles and therefore face different barriers to keeping their nutrition on track. The team in the office are sedentary and blighted by supplier gifts of cakes and chocolates. The Engineers are very active, working on different sites and have no access to facilities to prepare food. The Project Managers are on the road constantly and often called to different locations with limited notice. A key part of the workplace workshops is giving advice on sourcing and preparing healthy food that will work with different roles.
