1. Lunch Habits – A Small Factor with a Big Impact
In the race to improve productivity, from technology to HR policies, one aspect often overlooked is lunch. However, research from the University of Helsinki (Finland) proves that employees’ lunch habits directly affect work performance, fatigue levels, and company loyalty.
Published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, the study surveyed over 900 workers at factories and large companies in Finland. The findings showed:
- Employees eating nutritious meals in company canteens had productivity 11–14% higher than those eating hastily at their desks.
- Those dining in well-designed eating spaces experienced an 18% reduction in stress and significantly better focus after lunch breaks.
- Balanced meals—rich in greens, low in oil, and suited to taste—boosted positive mood post-lunch, enhancing collaboration and job responsibility.
- 2. What Can Vietnamese Businesses Learn from the Finnish Model?
In Vietnam, especially around Biên Hòa – Đồng Nai, tens of thousands of workers operate in industrial zones. Yet, not all companies invest adequately in industrial meals, a weak spot in employee welfare at many factories.
Meanwhile, Nordic models provide meals that not only meet nutrition standards but create genuine relaxation spaces. Timely, balanced lunches in civilized environments are a long-term strategy to improve mental health, increase loyalty, and reduce voluntary turnover.
