Getting to Know: Ingredient Division Trainers by Chris Mooney & Justin Guenther
Crest Foods has about 10 employees who are new employee trainers for the Ingredient Division over three shifts. Chosen for the role based on their patience, positive attitude, and understanding that not everyone learns the same way, these individuals are tasked with training new employees about the responsibilities of their job, as well as mak- ing them feel welcome and comfortable. We are continuing our highlight of trainers from the last Crest Ink. A typical day for a trainer in the Ingredient Division involves working side by side with new employees to show them everything from using the Strongarm bag lifters to stack 50 lb bags to calculating batch yields and using those calculators our teachers told us we couldn’t have. Our department does not have QA specific employees so our trainers are also teaching each and every new employee how to do their own quality checks including metal detector checks and first bag checks on every batch. We believe everyone is capable of succeeding here and we do our best to put everyone in a position to take on more responsibility as promotions come along. Thank you to the following individuals for the patience and guidance they provide to new employees as they start their career at Crest Foods. Helping others suceed is truly a talent, and we appreciate the work that they do to make new employees feel like a part of the Crest team.
