Self Assessment Scorecard

Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN)

SELF-ASSESSMENT SCORECARDThe golden standard for assessing nutrition at workplaces

The journey to creating effective and impactful workforce nutrition programs begins with a self-assessment of your current efforts. Our free self-assessment tools empower organizations to evaluate and enhance their workforce nutrition initiatives, offering an organization-wide overview across multiple worksites and regions.

The Workforce Nutrition Alliance has developed two self-assessment scorecards:

  1. Workforce Nutrition Scorecard for Formal Settings: This scorecard enables employers and organizations to assess the nutrition programs they provide to workers in formal worksite settings (physical environments where programs can be implemented).
  1. Workforce Nutrition Scorecard for Smallholder Farmer Settings: The Smallholder Farmer Scorecard is designed to help organizations that engage with workforces without regular worksite structure or location to assess their workforce nutrition programs. These workforces tend not to be employers but informal or indirect workers of off-takers, traders, other buyers operating on behalf of larger companies, and uncontracted smallholder farmers. These programs may also extend to their communities or household members.

Each scorecard evaluates workforce nutrition programs across four key areas: Healthy Food at Work, Nutrition Education, Nutrition-Focused Health Checks, and Breastfeeding Support. For a detailed assessment of the Healthy Food at Work component of the scorecard for formal settings, region-specific Healthy Food Checklists are available to help you assess and enhance workplace nutrition.

Please download the pre-read documents, which include the Terms & Conditions, Data Disclaimer, and paper versions of each scorecard. Additionally, download the region-specific Healthy Food Checklist that best suits your worksites.

BENCHMARKINGImprove benchmarking scores and address ESG concerns

Workforce nutrition is recognized by global reporting mechanisms as a catalyst towards achieving global nutrition goals and targets. In collaboration with World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) and Access To Nutrition Initiative (ATNI), the self-assessment components are included in the latest benchmarks for the private sector. The scorecard can also be used to add voluntary sections to annual ESG-reporting.
