Defining your company’s food safety culture maturity can be an elusive challenge. But if you don’t know where you are, you can’t know how to get where you’re going. If you’re seeking to assess and improve your food safety culture, this session is for you. There’s no shortage of books, articles, and speakers on the importance of having a strong food safety culture, but there is a dearth of information on exactly how a business determines if it has a culture of food safety and just how deep and sustainable it is. This makes it difficult to make improvements – if you don’t know where you are, how can you know how to get where you want to go? Just as a GPS can tell you both where you are and how to get where you’re going, a food safety culture assessment can provide both a quantifiable marker of your company’s current food safety culture and how to move up the maturity scale. This session will discuss metrics for assessment and improvement; coaching for strong leadership; and a roadmap of best practices for building, and maintaining, a sustainable food safety culture. Panelists: Tia Glave, Catalyst Co-founder, Jill Stuber, Catalyst co-founder Ben Miller, EVP, Regulatory and Scientific Affairs, The Acheson Group (TAG) Cameron Prince, Executive VP, Regulatory Affairs, The Acheson Group (TAG) and Managing Director, TAG Canada
