26 Jun How Apex is Changing Workplace Wellness in Kansas City
Have you ever stood in front of a vending machine and had no idea if anything inside was actually good for you? Most people have. That is why Apex Restaurant & Market Solutions created a workplace wellness program called Better Choices for a Better You. It makes healthy eating at work simple, fast, and totally stress-free.
What Is Better Choices for a Better You?
It is a healthy eating program built just for the workplace. Dietitians, which are food and nutrition experts, helped Apex design it. Instead of reading confusing labels, employees just look for one of five easy category labels on snacks, meals, and drinks in the break room. Each label tells you exactly what that food does for your body.
No guessing. No stress. Just grab and go.
The Five Categories
Heart Smart options are lower in sodium, have zero trans fats, and have fewer calories. They are great for anyone who wants to keep their heart healthy and eat a little lighter during the day.
Carb Smart snacks help keep your energy steady all day long. Instead of feeling tired and sluggish after lunch, you stay focused and ready to work.
Power Boost foods are packed with protein and carbohydrates. They are perfect for employees who work out after work or just live an active lifestyle. Think of it as your built-in pre-gym snack.
Gluten Free items are clearly marked so anyone avoiding gluten never has to wonder if something is safe to eat.
Vegan options are made from plants like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and beans. The Mayo Clinic says a well-planned plant-based diet can help lower the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even certain cancers.
Why Does Workplace Wellness Matter for Kansas City Businesses?
When employees eat better, they work better. It really is that simple. The Harvard Business Review found that 76 percent of workers believe wellness programs help them be healthier and more productive. Research also shows that for every dollar a company spends on employee wellness, they can get back up to three dollars in return. A healthier break room is good for your team and good for business.
Plus, when great food is available right at work, employees do not need to leave the building to find something decent to eat. That means fewer long lunch breaks and more time getting things done.
Fresh Food Made Daily
Apex also runs an in-house kitchen called Elite Cuisine. Every day, their team prepares fresh salads, sandwiches, wraps, and grab-and-go meals that are delivered straight to Kansas City micro markets and break rooms. Everything ties back into the Better Choices for a Better You program so employees always have access to real, fresh food, not just processed snacks from a bag.
