Employees are important links in the chain of your company. Training them is necessary for different reasons. You obviously want your employees to be happy and super productive at their workplace and you want to have all the work done in time. This can be achieved by educating your employees with videos! Why videos? Long story short, videos are cost-effective, engaging, easy to understand, and, most importantly, can be used multiple times!

As you might have guessed, the most commonly used training method is classroom training. Huge percent of companies use this method because they have no other choice and they are already used to it (because this is the way we are taught in schools). When it works perfectly for a school, classroom training doesn't really work for a business. This type of training is expensive, time-consuming and hard to control.

For your business you need something more flexible, easy to monitor and fun to watch. We suggest creating a video!

Are you interested to know a bit more about training your employees using video content? We are going to talk about benefits of using videos as training materials and show you where exactly these videos can be used.

1. Minimum time and maximum effectiveness. Nobody enjoys spending a lot of time on the same thing, so by recording or creating a video you save your time as well as nerve cells. You also make sure everyone gets the same information and nothing is going to be misunderstood or lost.

2. It will always be available. Once you actually put effort into creating a training video and upload it, your job is officially done. This video can be used in many ways and millions of time with minimum effort on your side.

3. It will boost work productivity. Since watching a video is 99.99% entertaining, your employees won't fall asleep after the third minute as it would happen with a presentation. So you will be able to get your message across with maximum effectiveness!

4. It is going to reduce business cost. Training programs can be ridiculously expensive since you have to pay for travel, food and teachers. And multiply it by at least 2-3 times a year. It doesn't look good, does it? That's why if you once put an effort into creating a good quality and good content video, it can actually save money and reduce business cost! The word "cost-effective" is definitely the keyword when talking about training videos!

1. Welcome on board videos. Everyone knows how tough and stressful the first day of work is. As an employer you want to create a friendly environment. By recording a welcome video, you are introducing the whole team, explaining company values and making the new employees feel at home.

The advantage of a video is that it puts every employee in the same position and the video can be watched again and again, and it the appropriate time. An onboarding video can also help with employee retention.

Here is an example of a welcoming video we find worth watch:

As you can see, people are explaining their jobs, talking about their experience and showing their workplaces. It doesn't take much time to film it, but the result is worth much more!

2. General training. Videos are super effective when it comes to teaching or training. It can be used in any sphere you want, from welcoming to teaching how to sell one particular type of pan, or a bed, or it can show what benefits you have while working for the company. For example, on-the-job trainings are super important and should be as effective as possible. You can come up with dozens of ideas for these videos, so sky's the limit!

There is an amazing example of an employee training video from 1992! It was filmed for McDonalds and starred Michael Jordan! Even 28 years later this video is highly relevant, so entertaining and still can be used to train employees! Just take a look at this!

3. Product or service breakdown. Video is a perfect way to show the product from the inside and outside. It is crucial to know every little detail of the product you're promoting or selling. By creating a video you can make sure not a single detail is missing!

Instead of giving hundreds of reading material pages you can just send one simple video! The process of creating a video on average takes couple of hours, but the result is worth it more than 100%.
