Employee Nutrition Guide

January, Week 2. In the world of resolutions, it’s make-or-break time.

The novelty of New Year’s has worn off. Someone bought cakes into the office for their birthday, you forgot how annoying the juicer is to keep clean and tonight’s takeaway is only few clicks away…

Stop! Step away from the delivery app.

You clearly need a distraction. Here, read this blog post all about employee wellbeing and how you, as an employer, can nurture a healthy workforce in 2024!

It’s all about balance.

Just like the best meals need a variety of ingredients, a diverse team will make the most dynamic work environment. Embrace all the different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. You’ll end up with an exciting workplace and a team that has loads of creativity and innovation.

Sweet and salted skillsets.

Imagine trying to bake a cake without knowing which ingredients you have in your cupboard. Ridiculous, right? Understanding your team's strengths and weaknesses is essential. Not everyone is an expert at everything, and identifying who’s best at what will mean you can position them more effectively.

Do this right and watch your team’s productivity double.

Recipes for retention.

In the same way you’d turn to a new recipe book for Friday night dinner inspiration, employees need external resources to upgrade their professional skill sets.

Invest in upskilling courses to keep your team engaged. Providing them with opportunities to enhance their skills is the best way to keep them contributing to your business long-term. Keep those brains full and satisfied.

Host with the most.

Just like a fresh tear-and-share loaf, sharing brings people together.

Well, the same principle applies to the workplace! Foster a sense of community within your team or department. Whether it's a monthly lunch, collaborative projects, or team-building exercises, you can always find ways to build a stronger bond in your team.

The cherry on top.

Wondering how to keep motivation as high as a stack of pancakes?

Provide frequent reviews to give your team the sweet feedback they need. Acknowledge achievements, address concerns, and sprinkle a bit of constructive criticism when needed.

We’re hoping you’ve now got the perfect ingredients for a well-nourished team and you’ve totally forgotten about food.
