Making it Work

To successfully introduce healthy eating changes, you might need to trial alternatives, determine the best timing for changes, identify promotional ideas and get feedback from members, visitors and the public.

The following factors have helped organisations make healthy changes:

  • Having a good governance and a well-run committee of management in place
  • Selecting at least one (but preferably a few) influential members to champion healthy eating changes
  • Communicating to members that the organisation is committed to and will help drive healthy eating initiatives
  • Highlighting to members how the proposed changes align with the organisation’s long-term goals for culture change and success
