Workplace Success Stories
Employment and Social Services make the healthy choice the easy choice
Employment and Social Services was interested in improving the eating habits of their staff. This led to their partnership with Toronto Public Health's (TPH) Nutrition at Work program.
The results from an interest survey served as the basis for the action plan which was customized to the employees' needs. The Wellness Committee, supported by TPH staff, created changes to the workplace environment to make it easier to choose healthier food.
