SPRINGDALE, Ark., June 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- More than two-thirds (67%)* of non-desk job workers – like teachers, first responders, hospitality personnel or nurses – say snacking helps them get through the day, yet it's still challenging to enjoy a high-quality snack while working.

The Snacktivity Director will help solve a nationwide problem with workday* snacking. A recent study revealed:

Nearly one-third (31%) of on-the-go employees report that their work situation doesn't allow snacking
Reported side effects of snacking deprivation include fatigue, crabbiness and lack of focus.
One-third (33%) of on-the-go workers snack because they need a mental break.
A large majority of on-the-go workers report that workday snacking has a positive impact on happiness (86%), productivity (85%) and well-being/mental health (85%).

"Hillshire Snacking brand prides itself on high-quality meats and cheeses that provide a premium, adult snacking experience," said Marcus Hudetz, brand manager. "Snacking during the workday can often feel like rushed, mindless eating, but it doesn't need to be that way. Hillshire Snacking snack packs can turn a few stolen moments into an elevated celebration that deserves to be savored, a moment of bliss."

What does it take to be a Snacktivity Director?
Three people will be selected to help under-snacked workers everywhere elevate their snacking game. Anyone who considers themselves a snacking enthusiast with a love for Hillshire Snacking small plates and passion for food and culture (plus a deep desire to help their peers across the country embrace their inner snackers) should consider the opportunity. This person should have a craving for Hillshire Snacking-fueled snack breaks throughout the workday and be willing to talk about the experience. And of course, permission from their employer to participate.
