Key Benefits of Video Training in the Workplace

We’re here today to talk about the important role that video tanning plays in helping your business grow. We’ll be talking about what this service is, how it works, and why you should consider using it for your company.
Training is essential in helping employees get acclimatized to a new company, procedure, or tool. But sometimes, it can be challenging and time-consuming to conduct a training session as you grow your business, with new people constantly coming in and when you introduce new methods or systems every now and then.
When it comes to delivering information, videos can work better than simple ordinary slides. This is, in fact, supported by a study from the University of Minnesota that says human brains process visuals 60,000 times faster than text. Videos don’t get boring with time and are much more engaging than written instructions because they’re interactive, showing moving elements and illustrations alongside narration.
Employees can access the videos from any device, so they can learn on their computer, tablet, or smartphone. Video is also available at any time, which is helpful for your employees who may be working odd hours, are far away from your location, or are in another country. Learners can also pause or rewind the video whenever they need to.
Research suggests that 85% of every dollar spent on instructorled training is spent on conveying the information. Conversely, you can save time and money with video training because it is less hands-on. Corporate video courses can also be reused over and over because they are recorded once, then made available to the public. This eliminates location, travel, instructors, class material, and overhead costs. It's not just a little annoying to keep making training programs, but it also takes a lot of time. It takes time to plan, create, and deliver training content on top of your other responsibilities.
The traditional way of training employees is to have them attend long-winded presentations that take up an entire day.
But what happens to the work they are supposed to be doing?
One of the best training video benefits is they allow employees to watch the training at their convenience, meaning no work time is wasted.
The best part is that you can watch these videos repeatedly whenever you need to. This will allow your employees to learn the material faster and more thoroughly. It also gives them a place to go for answers when they have questions about how to do a certain task. You can even make notes on each video, so no questions are left unanswered.
