An office may have to conduct meetings, conferences, and even achievement parties from time to time for better business and employee engagement. However, as an employer, you must make sure that you include and provide healthy foods only so that your effort to instill healthy eating habits in your employees is not spoilt in a day.
However, this does not mean that you will provide unattractive and tasteless foods to the employees. If you do so then it is for sure that the footfall in the next party you organize will not be as expected by you. Ideally, office parties are meant to be a whole lot of eating.
