Why Invest In Healthy Eating As Your Office Culture?
Employee benefits are important to help recruit and retain employees, and reflect the employers’ brand. However, in today’s competitive market, offering a comprehensive group health plan is just the baseline. If you want to attract top talent and keep your teams motivated, what other cost-effective items should you include?
If we take a look at the top global companies, they all offer a healthy eating culture in some form. Why? Food is an essential fuel to the human body, and the more we nourish it with the good stuff, the better we can perform!
So it’s really a no-brainer to start promoting a healthy eating culture as a form of employee benefit. Not only is it easy and cheap to provide, it also mentally and physically encourages your employees to be their best selves at work in the long term.
But what are the benefits of a healthy eating culture at work?
Improves employees productivity
Cultivates team bonding
Boosts moods to encourage a peer support system
So how do I create a healthy eating culture among my employees?
It all starts from understanding what your employees value beyond work. We suggest starting simple with a quick survey, testing out a lunch program (protip: read ‘How Can We Avoid Poor and Accessive Eating During Social Gathering’), or investing in an employee health and wellness program to see how it might improve your employee’s morale.
