Despite knowing how important breakfast is, many of the average office workers skip breakfast, why is that? Research have shown that breakfast is the most essential meal during the day. Having a good, nutritious breakfast will ensure that you fuel yourself to work to your fullest potential during the day.
Studies have also shown that having a morning meal would reduce the risks of diseases and importantly for some of you out there, help in losing weight. Breakfast can also improve your overall mood throughout the day, and let’s be honest, no one likes a moody co-worker.
Here are some tips on how to encourage your co-workers to have a healthy and nutritious breakfast every morning!
1. Set up breakfast communities
Arrange a group breakfast, give your co-workers a good, nutritious breakfast. Not only are they getting a great meal out of it, use this opportunity for them to get to talk to each other. This will ensure maximum efficiency and focus from your colleagues throughout the day.
2. Promote health within your office
In today’s world, health is one of the most important aspects of living a healthy life. Promoting health within your office and raising awareness on how important having a healthy diet and lifestyle will ensure that your colleagues are able to work to their best abilities.

3. Provide food and equipment to make having breakfast at work easier
This is very easy, provide your workspace with things such as a kettle, microwave, biscuits and maybe some milk. Some people just don’t have the time to have breakfast due to the rush hour in the morning. If you have something as easy as a microwave at the office, it means now that they can bring their own food to the workplace.
4. Never too late to have breakfast
Whether your work day starts at 8.30 AM or 10 AM, it’s never too late to have breakfast. If your colleague turns up 30 minutes late, encourage them to have at least a little snack or a piece of toast to get their day going.
