EXCELLENT…all of it. Thank you
So, important topic to all Cook Employees. Especially for IT, QA, Engineering and whoever handle data day to day. Why not make them as a compulsory training via Cook Learn for selected teams?
Great point! Training is very important for all of us. As a baseline training for employees, a read and acknowledge course is available in Cook Learn titled “Ethics and Compliance: Policy for Handling Class 1 and Class 2 Data”. This course is assigned regionally by the eLearning team. Supplemental training may be developed and delivered by entity, division, or operational unit leadership based on specific functional processes and procedures.
Great job! 🙂
Thanks! I’m looking forward to us working on more future episodes with interesting stories!
