Running a successful food and drink business means managing your people well. Having a skilled, engaged workforce will help secure the future of your own business and support the wider industry too.
In practice, managing people well involves many things, including:
- looking after their safety and wellbeing
- offering fair working practices
- having an inclusive workplace
- bringing the right people and skills into the business – including employees with science, engineering and digital skills
- developing your workforce.
You’ll find advice on all these topics on these pages. You can also learn about our skills programme, A Future in Food, which is raising awareness of the career opportunities and skills needs in the Scottish food and drink industry.
