COBC and NCBP are the training sessions that are organized for the external and third party
workers (Ramesh, 2018). Nutrition Quotient training also assists the employees to have proper
understanding of the nutrition, food and groups. In 2015, the training was imparted to more than
2,100 employees and they ensured that the employees focus more on maintaining the nutrition
ratio of the customers (Akhtar, Xicang and Iqbal, 2017).

session offered to the employees in the workplace (Nestle, 2019).
