 Conquering six of the top frustrations currently facing Food Manufacturers As many food and beverage manufacturers approach peak production season, Klipspringer have identified six of the most common challenges which site leadership and compliance teams are facing right now – with Covid-19 thrown into the mix. - Preventing Coronavirus outbreaks in factory areas where social distancing between workers is not possible.
- Maintaining effective communication and team morale despite social distancing.
- Training and managing additional temporary/agency staff, particularly where site procedures are regularly being updated to conform to latest Government guidelines.
