Nutritional Concepts has a keen interest in health promotion and nutrition education talks and presentations to companies at health and wellbeing seminars and consultancy for food companies in the Carlow and Kilkenny areas.

In the changing world of work, motivated, well-qualified and above all, healthy employees are essential for competitiveness and capacity to innovate. Incorporating health promotion at your workplace makes sense. With dramatically rising health care costs, it is important to keep your employees healthy.

Healthy employees tend to have lower health care costs, fewer workers’ compensation claims and fewer absences. Investing in your employees’ health through a workplace health promotion program can save you money. Good health equates to higher productivity and reduced absenteeism.

A sample of the type of corporate services provided by Nutritional Concepts are summarised as follows:

Staff Focused:

• Presentations for the health and wellness of employees
• Helping an organisation develop their own nutrition initiatives
• Provision of an on-site dietetic clinic for staff.

School/Teacher/Parent Talks:

• Presentations, classroom or AGM, on various aspects of nutrition and healthy eating for children
• Assisting schools to develop healthy eating programmes and initiatives

Group Weight Management Programme:

Diet and weight loss is successfully achieved through a change of lifestyle and eating habits rather than a two week quick fix.

Nutritional Concepts offers the option for a group of between 5 and 10 people to receive a series of six nutritional talks on consecutive weeks or cookery demonstration workshops, thereby avoiding nutritionally inadequate diets and rapid and unsafe weight loss.
