The program was helpful as it helped me in planning for my weekly activities, such as allocating time to each task as required. One of my three most important takeaways from participating in the Masterclass was that a workplace must have at least 2 of the 4 pillars of Workforce Nutrition actively in place.
Yetunde David – Crown Flour Mills, Olam Agri, Nigeria
Before the programme, no one in my office would be caught with a smoothie but now we are slowly easing into a healthier workplace lifestyle, and we are almost done with the construction of our canteen on the farm so great things are to come. Currently, I have pitched my idea for 25 square foot space for the lactation room and it is being added to the construction plans for the farm creche.
Onoriode Ogidigben – Dobi AgriCo, LATC subsidiary, Nigeria
Having participated in the Masterclass, I learned great inputs from the other industries and all the brain storming on goals and activities was informatively done. The concept of healthy eating and its impacts were very well structured by every participant and facilitator.
