2. Prompt cards asking employees what obstacles they face in eating healthy at work and in being healthy at work. These cards were to help us identify common struggles that employees face while at work that could inform the next HR healthy initiative. Our goal was to present our client with the seedlings for future plans rooted in the concerns and struggles of employees, again as a way to walk our client through our process and encourage them to seek research and hard data from employees before designing any future initiatives. With these two tools, we planned to engage employees and hoped to excite a handful of them to further their discussion with us and to provide a voice of the employees in designing an effective healthy cafeteria initiative. By understanding the current food culture, we hoped to paint a picture of what employees need to be healthy at work. That way HR’s future initiatives could effectively address the barriers hindering their employees from being healthy.
