Training Department Leadership and Crisis Management in a Food Safety Outbreak: Food for Thought
by Michele Lange, Director of Training & Development, The Habit Restaurants, LLC
Let’s face it; sometimes eating out is scary, especially with the recent increase in foodborne illness outbreaks mentioned throughout every media and social media outlet. The two most highly-discussed outbreaks to date are E.coli and Norovirus. As I received the latest daily news blast from my favorite industry news outlet, I started to think about how this recent increase of outbreaks could affect our industry as a whole.
How do these outbreaks affect consumers’ confidence level in food safety? Will we start to see a decrease in people dining out? Will customer complaints increase from people who “think” your restaurant or hotel caused them to become ill? Will regulatory agencies begin placing tougher restrictions on businesses that sell food? Will there be tougher regulations on food producers?
My question to you is, “If a foodborne illness outbreak happened at your restaurant or hotel are you equipped to handle it?” Do you have a comprehensive food safety training program to prevent an outbreak? Do you have a crisis management plan in place if an outbreak did occur? These are two serious questions to ask yourself and to discuss with your operations and senior leadership teams. Read More

Convincing the C-Suite: 10 Steps to Making a Compelling Case to Attend CHART
by Jason Lyon, CEO & Founder, Boondocks Hip

1. Study the program and identify sessions that could help you do your job better. The full brochure and agenda is at chart.org.
2. Share program information with your colleagues and identify what kind of information you could bring back to them.
3. Share program information with your supervisor and identify which sessions they believe would benefit your workplace. Read More.
