Registrar Corp Releases Insights from Global Food Safety Training Survey

HAMPTON, Va. — Registrar Corp, a regulatory compliance firm, released a research paper, “How to Build a Better Training Program and Why: Data and Insights,” featuring insights from its 2026 Global Food Safety Training Survey.

Registrar Corp surveyed 1,226 food safety and training professionals representing more than 3,000 food manufacturing facilities worldwide for the biannual study.

The research paper found that food facilities with “above average” training programs are:

• 12 times more likely to maintain strong, consistent adherence to established protocols
• Five times more likely to prevent incidents before they occur
• 10 times more likely to have motivated, engaged employees
• 109% more likely to see training to drive productivity gains
• 108% more likely to improve employee retention

"The research clearly shows that training quality is a differentiator," said Raj Shah, CEO of Registrar Corp. "Facilities that move beyond good-enough training consistently see safer operations, more engaged employees and better business outcomes."

The research provides a data-driven look at how training programs are designed, delivered and managed, and what impact those programs have on food safety outcomes. This year's survey highlights the relationship between training quality and employee engagement.

Facilities with above-average training programs are significantly more likely to report strong employee motivation, while engaged employees are more likely to follow procedures consistently on the floor, reported Registrar Corp. The survey also shows that companies are starting to leverage AI in their training programs.
