Americans eat an estimated one-third of their calories outside the home, and spend almost half their food money on food they don’t prepare themselves.1 Workplaces can either help or hurt our efforts to eat well, be active, and improve our health. Each year, healthier diets could save American society almost $114.5 billion (2012 dollars) in medical expenses, lost productivity, and lost lives.
Have and promote a written policy making healthy food and beverage choices available in break rooms, during meetings, conferences or company sponsored events when food is served.
Provide and promote free or subsidized lifestyle coaching/counseling or self-management programs that equip employees with skills and motivation to set and meet their personal nutrition goals.
