Culture Measurement Model.

Legislation and certification standards require that food safety culture be made demonstrable. Précon's culture measurement model makes culture insightful and thus demonstrable for the standard.

A culture measurement is the first time a baseline measurement: it shows where you are as an organization. It gives insight into the role of management, team leaders and employees, shows whether communication about food safety is effective, whether people are addressed when things are not going well and whether practice in the organization corresponds to policy.

After a while, the culture measurement can be repeated to understand the effect of improvement measures.

Our culture measurement model can be used as a baseline measurement to gauge perceived food safety culture. But it can also serve as a follow-up measurement to gauge the effectiveness of the measures taken. This gives you a good picture of whether the efforts have had the desired effect and where new improvements are desired.

Yes, if you want to do a good measurement of the culture within an organization, it is precisely important that all employees in the organization give their opinions on this. For the culture measurement to be relevant, all functions and layers of the organization must be equally represented. Only then will it become visible where things are going well and where improvement is necessary.

Précon makes an online questionnaire available to all employees. Through a QR code or through a link in an e-mail, they can access the questionnaire. Précon provides a poster with QR code and email texts with the link to the questionnaire. Employees can complete the questionnaire on their own laptop, tablet or mobile.
