The program was helpful as it helped me in planning for my weekly activities, such as allocating time to each task as required. My three most important takeaways from participating in the Masterclass were:
- A workplace must have at least 2 of the 4 pillars of Workforce Nutrition actively in place.
- The effects of employee poor diets can impact the entire business in the long run
- An effective nutrition program requires teamwork and cooperation from the entire organisation.

Having participated in the Masterclass, I learned great inputs from the other industries and all the brain storming part on goals and activities was informativel y done. The concept of healthy eating and the impacts were very well structured by every participant and facilitator ..

As an agricultural company, we are committed to growing the most organic and healthy produce for customer consumption and ensure our greatest assets, our workforce, is well taken care of.
My theme was on workforce breastfeeding support, but it did also inspire me to eat healthier. I read the overview of the other themes and really got into it. Before the programme, no one in my office would be caught with a smoothie but now we are slowly easing into a healthier workplace lifestyle, and we are almost done with the construction of our canteen on the farm so great things are to come.
Currently, I have pitched my idea for 25 square foot space for the lactation room and it is being added to the construction plans for the farm creche.”
