Seats are disappearing for the Sept 9 workshop with Frank Yiannas.

You’ve led tough audits and fixed complex processes… but culture is the one lever that changes everything. On Sept 9, you can sharpen that lever with Frank Yiannas.

Imagine one day where the ideas aren’t theoretical. You’re workshopping real challenges with a room of peers who speak your language. Folks like directors, VPs, and operators who carry the weight of “no incidents” on their shoulders. 

Frank will pull from Disney, Walmart, and the FDA to help translate behavior science into moves you can make Monday morning. You’ll walk out with:

  • What actually drives safer behaviors when no one is watching

  • Frameworks, templates, and a 90-day plan you build in the room

  • Knowing how to measure culture, then show progress that wins support from Ops and Finance

  • People who’ve been where you are and will challenge you in the best way

Give your team a plan they will believe in (and a reason to follow your lead).

Ballymaguire Foods said it had received approval from the Health Service Executive (HSE) to restart operations. Products will return to retail shelves beginning Aug. 12.

The FDA is warning the public about oysters from the Republic of Korea. Wang Globalnet has recalled certain frozen, raw, half-shell oysters because of norovirus contamination.

Belgium has recorded an increase in outbreaks and illnesses in 2024 compared to the year before. Figures show 777 outbreaks, 4,248 people were affected and 205 were hospitalized. There were six deaths.
