[Report] How to Build a Better Training Program & Why

Benchmarking Data & Insights from the Global Food Safety Training Survey

New research from 1,200+ industry professionals reveals what separates “sufficient” training programs from those that significantly improve compliance, productivity, and employee performance. This gives food manufacturers a great resource to benchmark their own programs. 

But just as important, the research uncovers why it matters. For example, food manufacturers with “above average” training programs are:

• 12X more likely to maintain strong SOP adherence
• 5X more likely to prevent incidents before they occur 
• 109% more likely to drive productivity gains
• 108% more likely to improve employee retention
