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. We are continuing our highlight of trainers from the last Crest Ink. “It takes a village”. That is what it feels like around here sometimes with all of the trainers we have and need in order to train the new employees we get every week. We cannot say enough about and give enough praise to all of our trainers that spend this much time with our new individuals in order to help them succeed and thrive. As we continue to try to find all of the help we need for labor we put a lot on our trainer’s plate. These individuals truly are the highlight on a daily basis with their patience and guidance.
