Self Assessment Scorecard

Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN)

SELF-ASSESSMENT SCORECARDThe golden standard for assessing nutrition at companies

The journey towards implementing effective and impactful workforce nutrition programs begins with a self-assessment of your current initiatives. Our free online self-assessment scorecard helps companies evaluate and enhance their workforce nutrition programs. It also provides an organization-wide overview, allowing assessment across multiple worksites and regions.

The scorecard examines your workforce nutrition program across four defined areas: Healthy Food at Work, Nutrition Education, Nutrition-Focused Health Checks, and Breastfeeding Support. For a detailed assessment of the Healthy Food at Work component, we provide regional-specific Healthy Food Checklists to help you assess and improve nutrition options tailored to different diets.

The Pre-Read Document includes T&Cs, Data Disclaimer, and a paper version of the Scorecard.
