Fostering a Culture of Food Safety Through Effective Training Methods — A Conversation with Amit Jagirdar of Bunge
Manage episode 434023070 series 3580470
In the run-up to the 2024 edition of the North American Food Safety & Quality series we spoke with Amit Jagirdar, Bunge’s Director, Quality & Food Safety, about how training embeds, fosters, and reinforces Food Safety Culture not just with FSQ professionals and the hands-on operations teams but throughout the company as a whole. Listeners of this podcast may remember the excellent interview we did with Amit last year at NAFS24 on Food Safety Culture. This conversation builds and expands upon that one to offer new ideas that keep Food Safety training fresh and engaging for everyone, makes sharing success and learning from failures a regular part of working life, and keeps people focused on what matters most. Whether you work in Food Safety and Quality directly, work in the food and beverage industry more broadly, or just have an interest in how the people keeping our food safe remain passionate about their important function, give this episode a listen!
