Every 28 April, the International Labour Organization commemorates the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, focusing on a timely theme related to occupational safety and health. There are a lot of reasons why we should promote healthy eating in the workplace. Eating healthy food helps us go about our day with more energy and contributes to general health and wellbeing.

August is National Wellness Month #NationalWellnessMonth ! People are starting to focus more on their health and wellness, both physically and mentally. It's important to note how your physical and mental health affect each other. If you are stressed, it will affect your digestion, hormones, body fat, sleep and more. Also, during times of stress, you deplete certain nutrients such as iron, vitamin C, vitamin E, magnesium, selenium, vitamin D, B vitamins, and more. For us to be at our best at work and home, we need to take care of our health, and it's smart for workplaces to support this. How can you celebrate Wellness Month? You could: - Go for a hike with your staff - Have walking meetings - Offer healthy food options in the office - Host a live health and wellness presentation - Have a challenge (drink 9 cups of water, get 8 hours sleep, step challenge) - Host a healthy cooking demonstration - Encourage your staff to step away from technology after-hours - Review your HR policies for DEIB practices, What other ideas can you add to this list? Write them in the comments. BTW, when you are ready to support your staff's health and wellness, reach out to me. #HR #PeopleAndCulture #CorporateWellness

According to CIPD’s Health and Wellbeing at Work report, the average rate of employee absence increased by 34.5% between 2019 (5.8 days) and 2023 (7.8 days). Unhealthy eating habits are often overlooked as a key contributing factor. Poor nutrition can leave employees feeling tired, sluggish, and more prone to illness. Supporting employee health and wellbeing is crucial, and making nutritious food more accessible at work is one way to help improve energy levels, focus, and overall satisfaction. #EmployeeWellbeing #Absenteeism #HealthyEating #WorkplaceWellness #WellbeingMatters
