High-fat, high-sugar foods can impair memory and cognitive function, while nutrient-rich diets, abundant in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, enhance focus and decision-making (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, 2023). For businesses, investing in improved workplace nutrition isn’t merely a health initiative; it’s a strategic investment.
The Benefits of Smarter Food Choices: What Businesses Need to Know
Providing employees with nutritious workplace food yields tangible benefits:
Improved Focus: Employees consuming balanced diets exhibit heightened alertness and efficiency.
Enhanced Decision-Making: Nutrient-rich meals support optimal brain health, minimising errors in high-pressure environments (Verywell Mind, 2023).
Boosted Morale: Employees value businesses that prioritise their well-being, fostering a positive work environment.
How Funnells Kitchen Facilitates Smarter Food for Smarter Business Decisions
Nick Phillips, Founder of Funnells Kitchen, an award-winning chef-led caterer based in Norfolk and Suffolk, is a passionate advocate for fresh, healthy, locally sourced, and energy-boosting foods for working professionals. “Recent research prompted me to consider the significant impact of unhealthy diets on worker performance, including reduced concentration, compromised decision-making, safety concerns, absenteeism, attendance issues, and overall worker morale and company culture. This translates to billions of pounds in losses for businesses. Smarter food truly equates to smarter business for employers.”
Funnells Kitchen partners with forward-thinking businesses that recognise the provision of nutritious food as a valuable employee benefit. “It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement,” Nick explains. “Employees receive nutritionally balanced lunches (either free or subsidised) in a deli-style setting, while employers cultivate a healthier, happier, and more engaged workforce.”
Over the past 11 years, Funnells Kitchen has refined its meal plans for corporate clients, offering a diverse array of whole grains, lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and fruits. Empower your business with Funnells Kitchen and create a workplace where smarter food leads to smarter outcomes.
