Med-I-Well | How your Organization Could Benefit from a Lunch and Learn Session

June 1, 2023

Lunch and Learn sessions are an engaging and fun way to educate and encourage employee growth in an informal setting.

These education opportunities can be used for a variety of reasons, from training employees, to delivering important and sensitive information, and building employee and leadership skills.

Med-I-Well Services offers its clients Lunch and Learn sessions, in conjunction with its Workplace Wellness Program. After we conduct a Health Culture Survey and launch a health and wellness program, ongoing feedback and communication with the workforce help identify topics that resonate with the team and meet ongoing objectives.

Med-I-Well Services has partnered with local restaurant Verdicchio Ristorante to provide delicious and nutritious meals.

These meals have been designed by our Nutrition Specialists in collaboration with restauranteur, Mark Gregorini. We provide two formats for the Lunch and Learns:

- A live cooking demonstration from Mark Gregorini while our Nutrition Specialists discuss healthy eating and keys to healthy cooking, or

- Healthy meals prepared in advance and enjoyed by employees while our Health Coaches discuss various health topics relevant to the audience.
