Navigating the Office Snack Scene: Finding Balance Between Convenience and Nutrition
Too often, convenience and nutrition stand at odds in the world of dietary decisions. In the minds of some, it’s just accepted that nutritious food is not convenient, and convenient food is not nutritious. Of course, in the busy, fast-paced world that we all occupy, this line of thinking can make it hard to meet dietary goals.
We don’t think it has to be this way. In fact, at InReach, we know that plenty of healthy, tasty snack options are already available on the market. Stocking your office with convenient, nutritious choices for your employees will make it easier for them to choose exactly the kinds of things they’d like to eat without interrupting their productivity during the day.
Evaluating the Status Quo
In some offices, existing snack options feature many of the traditional players in the vending machine game: bags of chips, candy bars, etc. These foods are tasty, to be sure, and they allow your employees to get a quick burst of calories before getting back to work.
Some workers, however, will appreciate also having fresh food options available that align with their health goals. it’s important to provide a balanced, wide-ranging selection for your employees to consider. With some of those traditional options on hand, along with fresher, healthy office snacks, each individual will be able to make their own dietary choices without feeling limited by what is available.
Bringing Down the Barrier
It’s no secret why many office workers choose less-than-healthy snacks during the workday. They just don’t have time to figure out another option, didn’t bring anything from home to eat, and are stuck picking from whatever is in the machine. Even if those snacks don’t really line up with their nutritional goals, there is only so much time before the next meeting, and they may feel like they don’t have a choice.
You can bring down this dietary barrier by working with InReach to present your employees with good office snacks that are fresh, tasty, and healthy—and just as convenient as a bag of chips or a candy bar. Suddenly, it won’t be hard to eat healthy, and many of the people in your office may be able to make a positive change in their consumption habits.
Embracing Variety in Snacking
A vending machine or micro market with a wide variety of snack and meal options available is the best way to support your teams throughout the work week. Sometimes, it will be a fresh, hand-tossed salad that is the perfect option for their needs and tastes. In other cases, it will be a candy bar—and that’s okay. By having a great selection available, including options that suit people with specific dietary restrictions, you’ll be catering to the entire office and enabling your staff to find what they want when they want it.
