Recent findings from the British Nutrition Foundation (2023) confirm that nutritious, balanced meals significantly enhance employee cognitive function, focus, and productivity levels. When employees have access to foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, whole grains, lean proteins, and fresh produce, their energy levels remain stable throughout the workday, reducing the typical post-lunch energy slump. Additionally, healthier dietary habits directly contribute to greater emotional resilience and workplace satisfaction, making employees feel valued and motivated. Companies investing in nutrition-based catering solutions foster positive workplace morale and higher employee retention rates, turning healthy eating into a valuable business asset.
How Funnells Kitchen Facilitates Smarter Food for Smarter Business Decisions
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.
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. “Everyone has experienced the post-lunch mid-afternoon ‘crash,’ leading to decreased energy and focus. As a fitness enthusiast, I’ve witnessed firsthand the energising power of proper nutrition’. Recent research shows a 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 in East Anglia who 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.”
