Workplace & School Programs

Population-level prevention requires institutional support with growing evidence base. The session covers workplace wellness ROI and the meta-analyses challenging earlier claims, school nutrition standards (US Smarter Lunchrooms, EU School Fruit Scheme), employer-sponsored GLP-1 access and the cost-management debate, cafeteria and vending interventions, physical-education evidence, and built-environment interventions. Discussion addresses corporate weight-loss programmes (Weight Watchers Wellness vs employer-direct GLP-1), the stigma considerations in workplace weight-management, school-based screening vs intervention, the comparison of US vs European approaches to school nutrition, and the policy levers including sugar-sweetened-beverage taxes.
