Who do you need?
Co-ordinator
The success of any healthy eating initiative is often down to a
champion who takes on the role of
co-ordinator.
This person starts the ball rolling and acts as a driving force
once the programme is up and running.

Management
It is important to get management interested in your programme
as early as possible. Gain their support and commitment from the
start.

and influence employees.

Support group
It is very difficult for one person to do all the work when
organising activities. It's important for the co-ordinator to form
a support group made up of representatives from all levels across
the workplace.
The group should meet on a regular basis to maintain momentum
and progress.

Champions
There are often very talented people within every workplace who
are willing to share their skills and help organise or deliver
initiatives.
Encourage these employees to share their skills and enthusiasm
for their particular activity. You'll spread the workload and
create a feeling of ownership across the organisation.
