” The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave is not training your employees and having them stay.” – Henry Ford, Ford Motor Company
At SQFI, we believe that creating a safer food supply can only be accomplished by demanding excellence at every stop along the food chain. And for us, that chain starts with training. Whether you’re a line worker in a food facility, a corporate decision-maker for a multi-national food company, a consultant assisting a facility prepare for an audit, or a member of an auditing body, itself, – training is an essential first step in the management of a successful food safety system.
This month, we invite you to join us as we examine the importance of training, education, and professional development in the food safety workplace.
