Washington DC area grocery chain Giant Food has started a new workplace wellness program aimed at supporting the wellness goals of local businesses and organizations and hosted by Giant's Healthy Living Team of registered dietitians and nutritionists who will provide full-service wellness programs that can be customized to support participating organizations' workplace initiatives.
The various programming offers include educational options such as webinars, lunch and learn sessions and store tours; wellness activities such as cooking demonstrations, meal planning workshops and mindfulness experiences; and wellness challenges for physical fitness, mindfulness and work-life balance. The offerings are available either individually or packaged together and personalized to fit the specific needs of an organization.     


"Healthy looks different for everyone," said Lisa Coleman, Director of Healthy Living at Giant Food. "That's why our programming addresses all aspects of healthy living—not just nutrition. Whether you are looking to add to your current workplace wellness activities or initiate a new strategy, we can help you build a program that best suits your team's needs whether they are in office, online or a combination of the two."


Giant is headquartered in Landover, Md. and operates 165 supermarkets in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia
