What to do next?
- Reporting issues to management can often be quite difficult for employees or third party suppliers. That’s why it is vital to establish a trustworthy Confidential Reporting tool that is user friendly and as straightforward as possible for your users. This is where Food Safe Reports comes into its own.
- The Mechanism for reporting concerns is via a secure web portal that your users can access using your unique company code which is generated through registration. Users can access this portal through any web based device, which means concerns can be logged outside of the workplace.
- Company login is provided through the homepage, where an administrator can view all anonymous records and action same.
