Starting with food. Real food. Not peanuts in a paper pouch.
Let’s cut to the chase.
We all know what employees say when they log off Zoom but keep Slack open:
“They talk about wellness, then dump back-to-back meetings on my head.”
“Another day, another dry canteen samosa.”
“If one more email says 'we care about you,' I’m flipping my table.”
Yep.
Welcome to the era of polite smiles on camera, silent burnout off-screen.
So… if you're wondering why productivity is slipping, motivation feels meh, and your rockstar team members suddenly seem one chai away from a meltdown, here’s your sign:
👉 It’s not the work. It’s the lack of care.
(And no, free branded pens don’t count.)
🧠 Let’s Talk About “Employee Wellness” — For Real
Long hours? Everyone’s doing them.
Tired employees? Literally all of them.
Your solution? Motivational quotes in the pantry? A yoga challenge no one joins?
No.
Here’s a wild idea:
Start with something they’ll use — like real, Indian, comfort food that doesn’t take 1 hour to cook or ₹400 to order.
🍱 Meet Freshoneed: The Instant Hero of Employee Wellness
Freshoneed’s freeze-dried, ready-to-eat meals are not just convenient — they’re a love letter to tired professionals who forgot to eat again.
We’re talking about:
🥄 Kanda Poha – Breakfast for people who snooze till their first meeting
🍛 Rajma Chawal – For that 2 PM “I miss ghar ka khana” moment
🌾 Jowar Upma – Clean, healthy, and doesn’t make you feel sleepy after
🍲 Masala Khichdi – Comfort food for high-stress project days
🍬 Gajar Halwa – Because self-care can be sweet too
🌶 Bombay Pav Bhaji – Street-style satisfaction in your boardroom chair
Just add hot water or microwave. No chopping. No drama. Just warmth in a bowl.
Why Does This Matter? Because You Can’t expect 100% from a 40% Fueled
Human.
Skipping meals isn’t a badge of honor.
Neither is working through lunch.
If you want a team that performs, innovates, and doesn’t daydream about quitting mid-Zoom, give them what they need:
• 🔋 Energy
• 🍽 Nourishment
• 🧠 Focus
• ❤️ Proof that you care
💡 So… What Can You Do?
Next time you build an “employee wellness kit,” don’t fill it with:
• Stress balls that no one uses
• A bland diary that ends up in the drawer
• Scented candles that smell like regret
Give them something they’ll open, heat, and smile about.
Like this:
✅ Kanda Poha
✅ Rajma Chawal
✅ Masala Khichdi
✅ Gajar Halwa
🚀 Bonus: Your Culture Starts Looking Pretty Cool Too
Imagine this:
“My company sent me food I actually loved.”
“They put khichdi in our wellness kits — not kombucha.”
“For once, they did something that made sense.”
Now that’s how you get:
✔️ Higher engagement
✔️ Better retention
✔️ Team members who talk for you, not about you
🛍 TL;DR?
Your employees are:
✅ Working hard
✅ Tired
✅ Probably hungry
You are:
✅ A thoughtful company
✅ Reading this blog
✅ Just one decision away from making someone’s week better
