Diversity on the work floor: a substantial challenge

Diversity on the work floor: a substantial challenge

We’re all different and that’s a good thing, too. However, sometimes these differences lead to incidents at and beyond the production line such as deliberate contamination or excessive bullying.

A few examples of differences that lead to incidents:
- an employee disagrees with a superior’s approach to the rules on personal hygiene
- another employee doesn’t agree on how tidiness in the refectory is dealt with
- or someone else has a problem with a colleague’s overall behaviour or with the way he expresses his convictions…

Crisis management should be a part of your company’s DNA

February 2020

A new employee... Besides a good perspective also a learning process: guided tours, the handover of materials, an immersion in the company culture.... He/she has to discover the ins and outs of the company in all areas, including crisis management (cyber security, social media, press, food defense). How do you include this?

When a crisis takes place abroad...

January 2020

The vast majority of the Food Security members export products abroad. Some dispose of their own staff abroad (sales office, warehouse, etc.). Others even have production sites abroad. In times of crisis, it is important to be able to make an appeal to these employees as well.
