Crest Foods has about 45 employees who are new employee trainers for Contract Packaging Production. 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 making them feel welcome and comfortable. The work they do is monumental for the beginning development of new em- ployees and is truly something to highlight. A typical day for a trainer consists of meet and greet, gradually introducing new tasks (packing, stacking, dump- ing), explaining what all of the machines are doing on a production line, what each tub color means and why it’s important, and making sure employees know how to find their way around the building (bathroom, water fountain, breakroom).
