A 360° Review for Food Safety Training-Perspectives From Trainers and Business Owners
Apr 13, 2022 (12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Eastern Time)
Webinar Description
Have we not trained enough employees on food safety? How do we know our training is effective? Questions like these lead us to reflect on what we have been doing in the past decade towards food safety training.
This webinar aims to provide insights on food safety training from both trainers’ and company owners’ perspectives. The first speaker is a successful business owner from a company with both manufacturing and retail functions. He will present an overview of the different levels of food safety training and share his first-hand experience of introducing food safety training in a graduated fashion so both retail and manufacturing staffers can deepen their understanding and engagement over time. The second speaker will share his extensive experience as a trainer from a company that provides food safety training for various clients. The third speaker is from academia who has been providing online food safety training for companies, with interesting research involved. We believe this webinar will provide a comprehensive point of view for our members.
