This can be as simple as bringing in a professional speaker, or doing it yourself, and discussing topics like holiday cooking, snacking, portion control, substitutions,etc.
Health Coaching
Offer Health Coaching sessions for workers to meet individually with a registered dietitian (RD), a nurse or a Worksite Wellness Program coach on a regular basis to provide continuous support.
Weight Management Classes
Weight management classes are another option to consider. As part of weight management classess one might host weekly weigh-ins, provide healthy lunches, and bring in a presenter to discuss issues with workers interested in weight management or weight loss. You could also host onsite weight loss meetings like WeightWatchers.com® to help motivate workers at work!
