Home / Workplace Nutrition Programs

Workplace nutrition programs that help your team eat well, think clearly and stay energised

What your team eats throughout the day shapes how they feel by mid-afternoon, their energy, focus, and mood. A workplace nutrition program gives your people practical, evidence-informed guidance they can actually use, in an engaging, non-preachy way, and shows that you care about how they feel day to day.

Workplace nutrition programs are educational sessions that help staff make better food choices for energy, health and wellbeing. HSG delivers corporate nutrition workshops and seminars, plus interactive healthy cooking demonstrations, led by qualified nutrition professionals, onsite and online across Australia since 2003, covering topics from fuelling performance to the food-mood connection.

Why practical nutrition support matters

Nutrition advice can be confusing, contradictory and difficult to translate into a busy working day. Practical, non-judgemental education can help people understand their choices without presenting food, weight or health as a matter of personal failure.

Vegetable intake falls short: Nine in ten Australian adults do not consume the recommended number of daily vegetable serves, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s Nutrition across the life stages report.
Food and mood are connected—but context matters: The 2017 SMILES trial found greater improvement in depression symptoms among adults receiving a 12-week dietary intervention than among those receiving social support. The intervention included seven individual consultations with an accredited practising dietitian; it was not a workplace seminar. Read the peer-reviewed SMILES trial in BMC Medicine.

This evidence supports practical education about diet, energy and the food–mood relationship. It does not mean that a workplace nutrition session treats depression, obesity or any other medical condition.

Who this is for

Nutrition programs suit whole teams, desk-based and hybrid staff managing energy across the day, organisations marking a wellbeing day or campaign, and teams complementing mental wellbeing work, given the food-mood link. Sessions are pitched for a general audience, with no special knowledge assumed.

What corporate nutrition workshops and seminars involve

HSG offers two complementary formats. Nutrition seminars, often booked as corporate nutrition workshops, are practical, engaging talks on a chosen theme, with time for questions. Interactive healthy cooking demonstrations bring the ideas to life, with a presenter preparing simple, healthy food that the team can recreate at home or at their desk. Both run onsite in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and regional centres, or online nationwide, typically 45 to 60 minutes, and content can be tailored to your team and goals. HSG regularly delivers corporate nutrition seminars and workshops in Sydney for corporate offices, government departments, professional services firms, healthcare organisations and education providers (workplace wellbeing programs in Sydney).

Topics and formats within this service include:

Nutrition seminars: Fuelling Performance
Nutrition seminars: Immune Support
Nutrition seminars: Food for Mood (the diet-mental health connection)
Interactive online and in-workplace healthy cooking demonstrations

What HSG can measure and report:

Attendance and participation
Participant feedback and satisfaction
Reported usefulness and relevance
Self-reported confidence in applying the information
Qualitative comments and suggested next steps

Over time, nutrition support can contribute to energy, focus and general wellbeing, complement mental health initiatives through the food-mood connection, and signal a genuine investment in staff health. An improved diet is associated with better wellbeing; it is not a treatment for any medical condition.

What clients say

I thought the session was fantastic and some people I have spoken with have said the same. Jo was super informative and explained things in a way that was really easy to digest (pun not intended!). I feel most people wouldn’t have the best practices when it comes to nutrition, including myself, and in my own experience it helps so much knowing the actual science behind what everything does for you.

Dr Anneline visited our office for a presentation on making healthy food choices. Not only was her presentation informative and easy to digest, but the salads that she prepared were amazing and a big hit across our team. A massive thank you to Dr Anneline and the team at Holistic Services Group!

Diet is a major driver of energy, focus and long-term health, and most Australians fall short of dietary guidelines (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2024). Practical, engaging guidance is a positive, inclusive way to support wellbeing and performance and complements mental health work by acknowledging the documented food-mood link.

They suit whole teams and desk-based or hybrid staff who want more energy and focus throughout the day. Sessions are pitched for a general audience, with no nutrition knowledge assumed, and can be tailored to your team.
