World Food Safety Day 2021 – Celebrating Food Handlers for the Champions that they are
This year we will celebrate World Food Safety Day on 7th June 2021 and although we think it’s really awesome that World Food Safety Day can be celebrated across the globe, this one single day is not enough to ensure that our consumers are protected.
Explained – Validation, Monitoring and Verification
Validation, monitoring and verification are essential parts of an effective food safety management system. In fact, these are the elements that stand between an ordinary food safety system and an effective food safety management system.
Could a creativity culture reframe perspectives in challenging times?
The future is now, and few of us are geared for the present, let alone contending with the future. In recent blogs, we have explored the theme of change within our industry. Today we want to continue this discussion, but take it beyond our industry, and explore how we can be more responsive, rather than reactive to change, both from an organisational and personal perspective.
Exciting New Developments Just for YOU!
Over the next few months, we will be launching a few amazing new programmes so, watch this space for information about launches on our online platform as well as new hybrid offerings.
Don’t let the Winter Cold Slow you Down
It is THAT time of the year again… As Winter sets in we tend to hit a bit of a “slump”. We lose our Summer energy and enthusiasm. Our 2021 goals and objectives start to fade as we prepare for our annual Winter hibernation. A general feeling of lethargy kicks in and we try to reserve our energy by doing as little as possible for as long as possible.
Embracing Change for Growth and Improvement
We would absolutely fail in our duty if we did not tell you that we have a bumper-filled May ahead of us. Our public workshops are up and running in Paarl and Johannesburg and we still offer you the option to Zoom in if you are located remotely or just prefer the safety of your own environment.
Talking about Change
As promised, our theme over the next few weeks will cover various aspects of change management. The idea is to look at the various food safety standards and use these requirements as a basis to develop systems that help us cope with change.
Make change your friend!
As our birthday month draws to an end, we have found ourselves reminiscing about where we started. We’ve considered the bumps and falls, and we’ve also recalled every celebrated achievement, no matter how seemingly insignificant. These moments of reflection have made us realise how grateful we really are. It’s also made us realise that we are indeed a formidable team, with each player in the right position and the right time.
