Vertical Audits for Senior Leadership Teams
TEAM TRAINING PACKAGE
- 1 hour
- Online
- On-demand
A vertical audit is one of the simplest but most powerful tools in your verification toolbox. It offers a fast, focused way to assess whether your records tell the full story of what’s happening on your production floor. But the real magic happens when your Management Team takes the lead.
The package includes training for five team members:
- Three Senior Leadership Team members,
- Your Food Safety/Quality lead, and
- An FS/QA alternate.
Training for each team member is online, on-demand, and takes about an hour to complete.
In addition to the training, the package also includes a short briefing for the senior manager to explain:
- why vertical audits are so powerful, and
- what their role is in making them successful.
You'll also receive a step-by-step guide to help you roll this out to your team - from completing your first vertical audit to planning meaningful improvements in your food safety programs together.
