Why Our Turnover Rate Matters
October 24, 2025
Sanitation is the backbone of every successful food manufacturing operation. Yet too often, it’s treated as a background function—until a problem surfaces. When sanitation falters, so do safety, uptime, and profitability. So how confident are you in your program?
The Hidden Cost of “Good Enough”: Even plants that meet basic standards can unknowingly lose money through inefficiencies, staff turnover, or underperforming systems. A sanitation cycle that runs long can delay production starts. A short-staffed crew may skip steps. An overlooked compliance log can put your next audit at risk. And when leadership doesn’t have clear visibility into sanitation KPIs, it’s nearly impossible to gauge true performance.
Why It Matters: Along with protecting food safety, your sanitation program directly impacts your bottom line. A strong program:
- Maximizes uptime and throughput
- Reduces rework and product loss
- Improves safety and audit readiness
- Builds team accountability and morale
On the flip side, gaps in training, compliance, or consistency can quietly drain resources and increase risk.
That’s why Harrigan Sanitation Solutions has developed the Sanitation Health Check—a 10-question scorecard that helps you see where your program stands today and where to focus next. Our Health Check identifies how you’re performing across three key areas:
- People: Are your teams engaged, trained, and empowered to execute with excellence?
- Profitability/Utilization: Is sanitation driving—or delaying—production?
- Compliance/Risk: How confident are you that your facility is truly audit ready?
What You’ll Learn: We’ve partnered with food manufacturers for over 20 years, and our Trustworthy Teams model is built on a simple truth: when your people, processes, and performance align, everyone wins. After you take a few minutes to answer the questions in the Sanitation Health Check, we’ll provide scorecards and tips so you see where your program is strong—and where small changes can make a big impact.
Ready for a Gut Check? You need a quick, honest look at how your sanitation program is performing and where to focus next. Take the Sanitation Health Check to uncover:
- Whether your KPIs are driving the right awareness
