On demand: Nutrition & the Brain – Fuelling Employee Mental Health

Our recent webinar, ‘Nutrition & the Brain – Fuelling Employee Mental Health’, is now available to watch on demand.

Held in collaboration with our Marketplace partner Nutrable, the informative session explored common mental health disorders, and what can go wrong when our brain’s nutritional needs are not met.

Our benefits expert, Joy Waugh, also gave an insight into Zest’s latest research around wellbeing. Despite an overwhelming 82% of businesses saying their employees are demanding more wellbeing benefits, 57% of companies believe employee wellbeing is at an all-time low.

To help try and combat those stats, the panel, which also included Nutrable’s Mike Murphy (Chief Nutritionist) and Caroline Hind (Head of Nutrition Content), explored the most important foods and nutrients for the brain, with lifestyle tips that help to maximise and better support good mental health throughout your life.

Talking during the webinar, Joy said ‘The gap between employees demanding more wellbeing benefits and companies saying employee wellbeing is at an all time low needs to be bridged, in both the employee wellbeing offerings that are available, and their communications.

We know that nutrition is a fundamental part of wellbeing, and it’s high on the agenda for so many people, especially younger workers. Access to resources like Nutrable helps employees to not only make positive changes to their diet, but also to their mental and physical wellbeing as well.’
