Workplace Wellbeing
Leading members of the Food and Drink Federation have long recognised that a
healthy, committed workforce is vital to business success.
They recognise that the wellbeing of their people has a direct impact on
productivity and bottom line, and appreciate the importance of building a
strong
reputation as excellent employers if they are to continue recruit the best
possible
talent into their businesses.
The case studies in this section highlight how food companies of all sizes have
been implementing schemes that aim to improve the health of their workforce –
bringing to life one of the commitments of the food industry's health and
wellbeing action plan launched in 2004.
As part of that commitment, FDF teamed up with Business in the Community to
launch a Healthy Eating Toolkit that provides no-nonsense advice for employers.
The
report builds on the food industry's nutritional expertise and show a healthy
eating initiative can be built into an overall workplace wellbeing programme.
That's just one of the ways in which FDF is working with its leading members to
achieve our sector's ambition to be a shining example when it comes to
workplace
wellbeing.
