Benefits of Training Videos
A major problem with the running of a large corporation or
PLC, is the increasing expense of staff training programmes.
Training videos are exactly what the title says - videos made for
the purpose of staff training.
When a company has a large and geographically diverse
audience, it can be extremely expensive to either send
experienced trainers to all of them, or pay for each individual
to attend training courses. A training video can dramatically
reduce these costs, and make the training information immediately
available to all members of staff.
Training video production can be presented in many ways - from
a series of specifically filmed programmes, to the filming of
training seminars and important presentations that have taken
place at these events and conferences, which can then be edited
into video form so that the benefits of these seminars are
massively increased.
Once they have been filmed, training videos can either be
delivered on CD-ROM for computer based presentations, or VHS and
DVD for television presentations. Training videos are often
incorporated into part of an overall training programme depending
on the needs of the company.
Training videos are very often used for induction purposes for
new staff and most people will see at least one of them in their
working life. However they can also be used for a multitude of
other applications. For example, if a new piece of technology is
introduced into your company, then a training video is the ideal
way to get the information on how to use it across your entire
workforce as quickly as the technology needs to be incorporated.
It could take weeks to train the staff in individual or group
sessions, so costs can be saved on both training, and time.
Training videos can also be used to train staff on new policies,
health and safety issues, customer service standards, or simply
the latest sales features on a new product. When you have to
train a wide and geographically diverse audience, training videos
can be the ideal means of getting the information through your
company in the fastest and most cost effective way.
Every company must offer their employees training from the
initial training at orientation to ongoing development. "The way
you train your new employees is important in not only enabling
them to do a good job, but also with their retention. Recent
studies have shown that when a new hire is adequately trained in
the beginning, they feel more confident in their job and
therefore will stay with you longer." - Peggy Morrow, 'Training
for Success'.
Video has long been recognized as a valuable teaching medium
because it can effectively convey to students an instructor's
visual clues, for example, gestures, posture and facial
expressions that aid communication and comprehension. Decades of
research show body language is the single most important element
in verbal communication. MediaPoint Technology Boosts Streaming
Video as Training Tool. In good times as well as bad, one of the
biggest hidden expenses for many businesses is the cost of
bringing new workers up to speed or training existing employees
for new job duties.
A detailed training video is one of the most direct routes to
lower employee training costs. Not to confuse an 'occupational
procedures video' with a job description is another valuable tool
for any organization. Job descriptions outline the duties to be
performed by employees. A training video demonstrates exactly how
to do those jobs.
Such a video can be extremely useful in recruiting and
interviewing job applicants. But more importantly, it can
streamline employee training and all new people to become more
productive more quickly. The out-of-pocket payroll savings alone
can be substantial. Suppose it takes eight weeks to bring a new
employee up to speed in a particular job, and the person's
supervisor must devote 25% of his or her time to training during
that break-in period. A good training video should reduce the
necessary training time by at least 20%.
Aside from these training cost savings, there are other
reasons to develop procedures videos for your organization.
Indeed, the very process of preparing such a video will provide
invaluable insight into the operations of your business.
