Responding to dietary needs


Some religions or beliefs have specific dietary requirement.

They may, for example, need to store and heat food separately from other food. It is usually possible to accommodate such needs at little or no additional cost and it is good practice to talk with employees about any needs they may have and to be as helpful as possible in meeting those needs.
When arranging company events – assessment days, conferences, training events etc where food is to be provided, it is again good practice to ask in advance about any specific dietary requirements those attending may have and to make the necessary arrangements to respond to these.
