This may be a good time to consider investing in a skilled consultant.
Here are some reasons I feel a professional food safety consultant may be a good option:
- Food Safety Planning at time of audit with no follow through - How often do you perform an internal audit just before your audit renewal date and find that monitoring of your procedures is a missing piece of your food safety plan? A consultant with the appropriate tools can assist you with items like; verifying timely monitoring forms, change in operating procedures when the best laid plan is not working, and retraining employees to be sure they are following the procedures or are aware of a revised or new procedures.
- Focused Experience and Knowledge – A Food Safety consultant with boots on the ground keeps in contact with the industry and works with similar situations as yours, knows best practices and gets you rapid results.
- Save Money – A consultant is not on your payroll. A consultant listens to your food safety needs, gets to work, and completes the tasks to your satisfaction. All this saves you time, and money, on trainings and updates.
- Neutral Outsider Voice – A consultant acts as a mediator and is not afraid to keep your company on target for improvement; minimizing risk to the process.
- Educator – A consultant is a teacher not just a problem solver. Skills learned from actual boots on the ground work are passed on to educate and enhance the company they are working for.
- Staying up with the times – Often agriculture operations maintain the same routines, which then become out dated. A consultant brings new ideas and strategies to a company that may not otherwise have been thought of. A consultant can bring knowledge from many experienced assignments providing you new options for improvement, of course with confidentiality at top of mind.
