Our Healthy Eating Workshops Work!
Most employer-sponsored wellness programs wait for employees to ask for help. The few programs we have seen that reach out directly to employees often make the employees feel embarrassed or harassed. One client had a family history of both heart disease and Type 2 diabetes and he was overweight. His employer’s Wellness Program outreach meant he got a call once a month asking if he had lost any weight yet. No how-to advice or any regular support, just a monthly call “nagging him,” in his words, about his weight. You can imagine how well that strategy worked for him.
We all know what we’re supposed to do: eat more fruits and vegetables and fewer “bad” foods. What your employees need to learn is how to put this into practice. CH&N employee nutrition workshops focus on how to:
- Eat healthy when you travel often
- Make healthy meals when you get home late from work
- Know what to make of the conflicting advice you read in the newspaper
- Feed your kids the right foods
- Know which diet will work for you
Without this information, and regular support (not nagging or criticism), most people cannot change their daily diet to a more healthful one. Our healthy eating workshops are an educational, nurturing, and effective way to reach out to your employees and help them live healthier lives.
