Background of the Study
Workplace nutrition programs are initiatives designed to improve employees’ health and productivity by promoting healthy eating habits. These programs often include nutrition education, meal planning, and access to healthier food options in workplace cafeterias. Organizations implement workplace nutrition programs to reduce absenteeism, enhance employee well-being, and prevent diet-related illnesses.
In Plateau State, many workplaces have adopted nutrition programs to improve employee health and reduce the risk of lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions. However, the effectiveness of these programs in achieving their intended objectives remains unclear. This study evaluates workplace nutrition programs in Plateau State, assessing their impact on employees' dietary behaviors and overall well-being.
