Workplaces can provide opportunities to increase employee knowledge and awareness around healthy eating. Since most people eat while at work, the workplace can be an influential environment to educate and encourage healthy behaviours. Eating a well-balanced diet is an important part of staying healthy and can help boost an employee’s energy. About one-third of all cancers can be prevented by eating well, being active and maintaining a healthy body weight.
