Virtual - Supervisory Skills for Managers
2021-11-09 08:30 - 2021-11-17 12:30 UTC
Moving into a position of authority means meeting new challenges, taking on new responsibilities, and mastering new skills. It may also mean learning to manage across cultural and language differences. New Managers can often be overwhelmed by new responsibilities and anxious about the transition from “coworker” to “boss.”
Workers who have recently become supervisors often worry about the way others will react to their new supervisor status … have concerns about keeping up with a tougher workload … and wonder how to handle the new tasks they will be faced with: hiring, disciplinary action, managing change, even firing.
A program to ease the transition …
This supervisory training course was specifically designed to address the needs of anyone who is new to managing others, with a special focus on those managing in a multicultural workplace. The content of this course will provide a powerful new set of skills, strategies, and techniques for dealing with the issues you will encounter as you take on your new position and move forward in your career.
You will find out how to relate well to former peers who are now your subordinates, and you’ll learn the communication skills that will help you handle these changing relationships in a way that’s comfortable for everyone. You’ll discover secrets for motivating and encouraging people to do their “personal best” for you, and find out how to discipline firmly and fairly, without creating resentment. This supervisory training will show you how to positively influence the behavior of your workers.
In this workshop you’ll learn:
How to communicate more effectively as a new supervisor
When to be flexible, and when to stand firm
How to build trust and gain respect
Strategies for motivating others to achieve results
The truth about discipline — how to handle uncomfortable situations
What every new supervisor and manager should know about hiring and firing
Time management skills that really work
And much, much more!

2021-11-08 08:30 - 2021-11-11 12:30 UTC
As consumers become more self-educated about how products are being produced from product ingredients to safe food handling practices, retailers are depending on suppliers to have food safety controls in place to give reassurance to consumers that Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are effective and Food Safety Principles are being followed. This is when a Safe Quality Food Practitioner comes into place. A SQF (Safe Quality Food) Practitioner is one who develops, implements and maintains a SQF system for a supplier.

cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) Requirements and Readiness
2021-11-01 08:30 - 2021-11-02 12:30 UTC
“Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) Regulations is the process that ensures the quality of a product by establishing manufacturing procedures making certain that food is safe and has been prepared, packed, and stored under hygienic conditions.
Food manufacturers must comply with cGMP’s through new regulations to be compliant with FSMA.
cGMP’s are critical, not only to FSMA, but to every food safety and quality certification.
They are audited by third party food safety auditors and are considered prerequisites.
The training will cover the core requirements, changes to former requirements and best practices on how to achieve compliance. Participants will learn how to handle FDA and third party Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) inspections. The training will also outline how to interact effectively with investigators so that organizations can not only react to inspections, but anticipate them as well.
The participants will learn and understand the revised (cGMP’s) – according to the final rule for “Preventive Controls for Human Food”, released on September 17th, 2015.
By the end of the training course, participants will be able to:
Understand the components and requirements of cGMP within the food and beverage industry.
Implement cGMP through the organization to ensure sanitary and processing requirements are being met.”

Team Effectiveness & Team Building
2021-11-01 08:30 - 12:30 UTC
This half day virtual workshop provides participants training in team building and team effectiveness. Team Building & Effectiveness is most often a precursor to a focused team based effort to address specific business areas, or an integral part of a more comprehensive business improvement strategy. During the class, basic team concepts are covered including, but not limited to stages of team development, roles and responsibilities, ground rules for acceptable team behavior and team decision making processes.
Teams have become a principal building block of the strategy of successful organizations. Whether the focus is on service, quality, cost, value, speed, efficiency, performance, or other similar goals, teams are the central methodology of most organizations in the private, non-profit, and government sectors.
In most teams, the energies of individual members work at cross purposes. Individuals may work extraordinarily hard, but their efforts do not translate into team effort, and this results in wasted energy. By contrast, when a team becomes more aligned, a commonality of direction emerges, and individual energies harmonize. You have a shared vision and an understanding of how to complement each others’ efforts.
