With the ever changing landscape of protocols in the Stay Safe MN guidance for restaurants, it can sometimes be difficult for ServSafe food managers to find the time and space to educate their staff on current protocols. With limits on staff members allowed on site, mask mandates and social distancing regulations, ServSafe food managers will be required to get creative when training their staff about the new protocols in place during these challenging times. This week, we’d like to take a look at a few resources ServSafe MN Food Managers can utilize to provide effective staff training and adhere to current standards.
Hints for ServSafe MN Food Managers On Staff Training During Corona Virus Restrictions
Due to the limits on personnel on site, ServSafe MN food managers may want to consider some form of virtual staff training to share new updates from Minnesota’s guidance for bars and restaurants. This can bring together larger numbers of staff members than are possible in person given current circumstances. Virtual training may be a challenge, but the good news is ServSafe food managers can access a number of free, easy-to-use, web conferencing services to bring their staff together from remote locations. Some of the most convenient services are available in both mobile and PC versions. We recommend checking out:
All three of these services are free and easy to set up The only catch is that ServSafe food managers and their staff will have to create an account with one of these services if they don’t already have one.
Using these services, you can easily train multiple staff members at the same time before or after work hours and prevent the need to account for social distancing and occupancy restrictions.
Finally, we should alert you to some free COVID-19 specific staff training that is being made available by ServSafe MN. There are quite a few videos and training sessions that are available for free that you and your staff can view from home. Remember that these are national ServSafe guidelines, so you may wish to compare their information with current Minnesota guidance.
How are you, as the ServSafe MN food manager dealing with staff training for challenges under current Stay Safe MN regulations?
