Webinar Description
A common challenge raised in the IFSQN community is: “How can I secure management and employee buy-in for food safety training?” This insightful webinar, presented by Andrew Thomson, an experienced Food Safety Consultant, and Dr. Matthew Wilson, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Adelaide, addresses this critical issue head-on.
The webinar highlights the pivotal role of securing buy-in from both management and employees to ensure the success of food safety training initiatives. Without their support, even the best-designed programs risk falling short of their goals. Andrew and Dr. Wilson will share practical, proven strategies to engage teams at all levels, helping to foster collaboration and commitment to food safety.
Additionally, the session will feature real-world case studies that demonstrate how businesses have successfully overcome resistance and inspired meaningful, lasting change. These examples offer valuable insights and actionable takeaways for driving a culture of food safety excellence within any organization.
