Hard to Retain Information due to Repetitive Nature - Lacks Diversity

November 11, 2025

I thought this training was okay, as it had some interactive features, but it really lacked the piece that makes it engaging. It felt like I was being talked at, and it was a boring slideshow. My other criticism is that this training seriously lacks diversity in the visuals being used. I think I recall one instance where a black person was used as an example of food service workers needing to tie their hair back in nets, which felt extremely close to a microaggression (especially since this person had braids). Then, examples used to describe being “clean” or having good personal hygiene were both white women… ADD DIVERSITY!!!! So gross in 2025 to still be using only white people in your visuals for a presentation.
