New staff training presentation now on the website

The members’ area of the healthyliving award website is open to all award holders as well as businesses and organisations who have registered for the award. Have you visited yet?

When you log in you’ll be able to access a whole range of resources and information to help you gain and maintain the award.

The latest feature just added is our new training guide for all catering staff. This PowerPoint presentation gets across all the essential information about the award conditions in an appealing and captivating way.

With lots of bright illustrations, it encourages staff to think about healthy eating by posing a series of questions, as well as informing them about the award.
For your site to gain the award, both kitchen and front-of-house staff must be aware of the healthyliving award and the healthier catering practices you are using. So make sure all your staff get the chance to watch the presentation as part of their initial induction, as well as making it a part of your ongoing staff training programme.

You can find the guide in the staff training section of the members’ area, using the login details sent to you when you registered. Haven’t got a login? Register your businesses now.
