ABSTRACT
Join us as we delve into the critical connection between nutrition and mental well-being in the workplace. We'll explore the often-overlooked impact of nutrition on mental health and discuss why it's essential for employers to prioritize this aspect of employee wellness through promotion of positive food culture. Through an insightful review of common workplace nutrition programs that fall short, we'll offer a fresh perspective and present numerous innovative ideas that attendees can readily implement in their organizations to foster a healthier and happier workforce.
