CTPAT Security Training and Threat Awareness

C–TPAT Security Training and Threat Awareness

Training is a critically important element in any organization because it results in fewer mistakes, better employee-management relations, and a better final product or service. Having a well-trained team ultimately leads to a more profitable and efficient workplace.

A comprehensive security and threat awareness training program has a positive impact on safety and communication issues and boosts employee morale and retention. When employees feel their managers are interested in their personal growth and success, they are more loyal to their companies and their jobs. Security and threat awareness training is part of the minimum security criteria for all C-TPAT business types. Although listed as a “should,” this is primarily to avoid requiring very small companies to document every element on security that passes informally between employees.
