NUTRITION
DOROTHY RICHMOND Dorothy Dietitian
Is personal workplace nutrition immersed in your corporate goals for 2017 ?
As we are settling into a new year in the workplace , people are faced with many workplace diet traps . We spend , on average , a third of our day at work , so it makes sense to give what is eaten in the workplace careful consideration .
Often heavy workloads , sedentary working requirements , shift work , new positions and staff , tiredness and stress affect eating habits at work .
Bear in mind , too , that people may have additional debt to manage after the Christmas period potentially encouraging them to purchase cheaper / less healthy options .
A professional nutritionist can assist with meal planning , which will help you to save money . There is no better time of year to instigate a healthy eating program to support a healthier workplace , than right now .
Dorothy Dietitian can take your workplace health and wellbeing program to a whole new level . Structured weight loss challenges and nutrition education and awareness efforts help alert employees to health risks .
Dorothy can work with employees to focus on replacing unhealthful foods with healthful foods , establishing appropriate portions and reading labels .
Workplace wellbeing is particularly important for shift workers such as , nursing , agriculture and transport and for people who work with food in hospitality and tourism , as meal planning can become distorted due to working peaks and troughs .
Workplace nutrition programs encourage healthy eating and planned / structured eating behaviour enabling employees to feel better , have more energy , and be more productive .
Employees are also likely to follow improved eating behaviours outside of work ensuring sustainable changes over the long term with goal achievement .
Workplace nutrition programs are not just for large corporations but have an important potential role in government departments , schools and neighbourhood centres .
And yes - let ’ s use local produce ! A healthy company is a productive company , and workplace goals are often community goals , so let ’ s look at ideas for a workplace community that embraces healthy eating habits .
