The role of the workplace food environment in eating behaviours of employees at small and medium-sized enterprises: a qualitative study in the Netherlands
Across all three types of SMEs, both employers and employees described a food environment that was limited in actively encouraging healthy and sustainable food choices at the workplace. Future research should focus on developing tailored workplace policies and interventions addressing the unique food environment characteristics of different types of SMEs to improve employee eating behaviour.
