What Work Ethics And Practices covers

Baking Technology Level 6 bakers need more than recipes, and Work Ethics And Practices covers managing yourself, acting ethically and working with others. Self-management means knowing your strengths and weaknesses, setting a vision, looking after your health, handling emotion and stress, and using time and targets well. Ethical practice covers integrity, patriotism, professionalism and industry policies. Teamwork looks at team types, conflict, gender and diversity mainstreaming and coaching. Growth covers avenues for advancement, training needs, licences and certifications. Problem solving covers causes, methods and decisions, and customer care runs from identifying needs to retention.
