If you don’t keep check of your employee’s welfare including their catering standards and associated costs you’ve got problems!

As an employer it’s your responsibility to prove compliance and due diligence. Aside from operational risk you have legal and financial justification for monitoring welfare…

To measure welfare conditions you need to adopt a structured approach through benchmarking standards.

Why bother including employee catering facilities after all the catering is contracted out?

As the employer you are held liable for employee welfare; ALL contracted and in-house catering standards impact your employee’s welfare!
So whatever your arrangements it is you who is in the firing line if the caterer takes a short cut and gets it wrong.

Remember as an employer you have a “duty of care”:

Benchmarking also reduces your operational risk and catering costs giving you both legal and financial reasons for regulating and safeguarding standards!

How do we help; We audit employee welfare for numerous businesses throughout the UK; as experts our bespoke report to you reduces your operational risk, meets legislation and helps you reduce your catering costs. It will also help you reduce food poisoning risk and generally improve current employee standards…

Our independence ensures no vested interest meaning a fair assessment. No allegiance to catering companies means NO preconceptions etc. etc. etc… You need all of the facts; both good and bad to reduce your vulnerability!

Independent benchmarking genuinely improves and removes all bad working practice.

Do any of these categories fit your situation?

1. Sites without canteens; refreshments via vending machines: Operated vending problems!
2. Sites with large canteens manned by external caterers: Contract catering problems!
3. Sites with canteens manned by own employees: In-house catering problems!

For “robust control” you must audit standards completely independently of your caterers, vending operators and site operatives:

Remember that it’s better to resolve minor issues before they become major problems and that prevention is always better than cure...
