  The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging in Food Processing and Handling Environments course is an online training program that teaches employees in food processing and handling environments the meanings and purposes behind diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging and how to practice each of them in the workplace. The course covers types of diversity, equitable workplace practices, conscious and unconscious bias, and how inclusion and belonging contribute to workplace productivity and morale.

  This course is designed for employees who work in food processing and handling environments. It is appropriate for line workers, machine operators, packaging staff, quality control inspectors, sanitation crews, supervisors, and anyone working in a food processing or handling environment.

  The course takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes to complete. It is fully self-paced, so you can pause and resume at your convenience. You have 6 months from enrollment to finish. Progress saves automatically on the same device.

   The course covers what diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging each mean, why diversity is important in the workplace, different types of diversity, the difference between conscious and unconscious bias, how to create an equitable work environment, how inclusion and belonging factor into workplace productivity and morale, and practical steps employees can take to support DEIB in their workplace.

There is no single federal law requiring DEIB training for all employers. However, federal anti-discrimination laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 require employers to maintain non-discriminatory workplaces. Many state and local jurisdictions require harassment prevention training that includes elements of diversity and inclusion. Additionally, many employers implement DEIB training as part of their compliance and organizational development programs.

  This course covers the same core DEIB topics as the general Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging in the Workplace course but uses video, examples, and terminology specific to food processing and handling environments. eTraining offers environment-specific versions so training is directly relevant to the situations employees encounter in their particular workplace.

   The course is currently offered in English. Check eTraining’s course catalog for updates on Spanish-language availability or reach out to us at info@etraintoday.com.
