Do employees have a right to see their personnel file? It depends on the state and whether the employer is public or private.

In Ohio, private employers generally are not required to provide access to their personnel files. The only records a private employer is required to provide are medical records and wage & hours records. Public employers, however, must consider Ohio's public records requirements and applicable exceptions (ORC §149.43).

In Michigan, the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act generally provides employees of covered private and public employers the right to review qualifying personnel records, subject to the law's requirements and limitations.

Maintaining a healthy diet at work can be difficult during busy days. Organizations that provide healthy and nutritious options nearby, employee education, and reinforce short breaks can support employee health.

-Nutrition Education: Workshops, tips on bulletin boards, and healthy recipe sharing are all ways to encourage healthy eating in your organization.

-Healthy Snacks: Provide nutritious snacks such as fruit, nuts, or yogurt that are readily available for employees during busy workdays.

-Hydration Station: Ensure that your employees have easy access to drinking water and refillable water bottles. To take it a step further, encourage a hydration challenge amongst your employees to create friendly competition while staying hydrated.

-Affordable Options: Keeping healthy food options nearby that are low cost can encourage healthier choices when employees need to purchase lunch or a snack.

-Take a Break: Encourage employees to take their lunch break away from their desk, allowing them to eat mindfully, and reset their brain for the rest of the workday.
