Healthy nutrition at work

Does changing what people eat at work really have an effect on their productivity and general health?

How do we know that changing what people eat at work really has an effect on their productivity and their general health? This C3 Workplace Health Movement Meeting will explore the evidence-base for nutrition programmes in the workplace and will touch upon various evidence-based approaches and strategies for effective implementation. Elaine Gardner will discuss the British Dietetic Association (BDA) Work Ready programme along with some of the practical learnings that the BDA has found since its inception. Details of BDA resources will be shared including on the importance of healthy hydration, and on the transport and healthcare sectors.
