Happiness increases productivity. Productivity increases profits. Wellbeing is an essential aspect of employee engagement, now is the time to invest.

74% of people have felt so stressed that they have felt overwhelmed, or unable to cope.

51% of adults who experience stress have felt depressed, and 61% anxious.

Poor mental health costs UK employers up to £45 billion a year.

Yet, investment in mental health, including nutrition and wellbeing, is positive with an average return of £5 per £1 spend.

Nutrition has a significant impact on brain function and performance; even small improvements in the nutritional environment can translate to large gains in mental health and wellbeing.
