Personalised Food Safety to Improve Food Safety Culture
This webinar follows on from the previous days webinar: Leading the Way: How Leadership Presence Influences Food Safety Culture Maturity
In this second webinar, we'll explore how personalised food safety strategies, coupled with the power of storytelling, can drive a culture shift within your organisation. By identifying role-specific behaviours and leveraging real-world experiences, you'll gain valuable insights into how individuals make sense of their environment and respond to food safety challenges.
Learn from success stories that showcase the benefits of cross-functional collaboration, and the substantial improvements achieved when leaders actively engage in food safety initiatives. These stories reveal how individuals interpret and give meaning to their experiences, resulting in a 51% improvement in good manufacturing practices. This demonstrates the crucial role of personal narratives in driving organisational change and fostering a strong food safety culture.
