Benefits of a corporate nutrition program

A healthy employee is a productive employee!

Nutrition and diet are essential parts of a healthy lifestyle for good health and healthy employees are essential for a productive and efficient work place.

Many Australian workers are overweight, have high cholesterol levels and are at risk of developing chronic diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes and heart disease.

Current research shows that chronic diseases costs the Australian workforce more than half a million days of absenteeism each year. For your business this means increased costs, reduced employee productivity and reduced profits. Lifestyle diseases are the silent OH&S risk of every work place.

Potential benefits of a corporate nutrition, health and wellness program for your business include:

• •  Informed, healthier and happier employees
• •  Reduced absenteeism
• •  Improved workplace culture, increased staff morale and higher employee engagement with their work
• •  Increased employee efficiency and productivity
• •  Reduction in accidents and injuries, which assists in reducing workers compensation claims
• •  Increased profits!

An Accredited Practising Dietitian & Nutritionist can help your business improve the health and productivity of your employees by means of:

• •  nutrition seminars and workshops on various topics including
  • •  general healthy eating
  • •  weight management
  • •  managing high cholesterol & blood pressure

• •  Corporate health assessments of each employee looking at diet, lifestyle and key health measures such as weight, BMI and waist circumference.  Each employee will receive a personalised health report with recommendations.
