Hi,
Do you all mind if i ask what you are putting in place for the new food culture section on Issue 8. We are a small company so would like to avoid paying out thousands to someone to come in and do a questionnaire on everyone.
I was wondering if this is someting we could create in house and do our selves. I think I could put a good questionnaire together, analyse the answers and then do a list of steps to take place to improve culture / create a report.
Hi Nikki,
Start with this:
Senior management are responsible for delivering a “It is how we do things here” food safety culture by:
Leadership – starting from the top
Demonstrating visible commitment
Effective communication of company philosophy and policy
Ensuring there is accountability from the top of the organisation to the bottom
Developing employee confidence and mutual trust
Developing reward schemes including ‘Employee of the Month’ award
Ensuring all employees are accountable, engaged and understand the value of integrity and proactivity
Developing an action plan for the development and continuing improvement of food safety culture
You can also then develop and conduct your own internal surveys.
Kind regards,
Tony
