Training Videos

Safety and Training Videos – get the most from your corporate training programs.

 

 

Before you spend the money on a one-time corporate training event, why not consider capturing it on video for future use? Or better yet – skip the event and film the trainers on our sound-stage or on location to bypass the event costs all together. Many training videos, however, do little more than amuse or bore employees. (Remember the educational movies you saw in school?) Our training videos excite and motivate! We use upbeat music and strong graphics to make learning fun. We interview and shoot your executives, staff and/or clients in various training sessions or, if you wish, provide professional actors and actresses to convey the message.

 

Training videos can be aired via


  • webinars
  • video-conferences
  • placed on DVD's
  • shipped to training locations
  • donated to organizations and institutions such as schools, churches, and non-for-profits.


The DVD's can be sold online, thus creating another source of revenue. Several different training sessions featuring different topics make an effective training video collection. Let us help you merge your training films and turn them into a complete, lucid, professional, free-flowing, yet fun, catalog of training videos.

Forget the dreaded ho-hum, boring, nod-off type of less effective video. Increase productivity! Excite! Motivate! Train Employees with Custom Videos 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. 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. A procedures video demonstrates exactly how to do specific jobs. Aside from the training cost savings, there are other reasons to develop procedures videos for your organization.

The following are numerous reasons for your company to consider video technology as a training tool:


  • Convenience:
    Employees are able to watch your corporate training videos at their own pace, wherever and whenever they want. Video, therefore, never infringes on an employee's time. Image: Using video helps your business project a progressive image.

  • Standardization:
    Video presents standardized information for every viewer, every time.

  • Uniqueness:
    With video, you can expect close to 100% viewership. Market studies show that nearly everyone given a DVD will play it in its entirety - out of curiosity, if nothing else.

  • Reduce Travel Costs:
    Video is a cost-effective way to communicate with and train employees overseas, out of state, or even across town.

  • Retention:
    People remember: 20% of what they see 45% of what they see and hear & 75% of what they see, hear, and do


Video will show your procedures in action. A professionally produced video will engage and hold the viewer's attention better than any other medium. Using video to train employees will give your company a competitive edge. Video brings the viewer right inside your facility to see the entire production process, including the quality of materials and workmanship that goes into your company's products and services. A professionally produced training video is designed to complement your already existing printed training manuals. Today's "visually literate" society gets most of its information from televison and the Internet: Trainers are now realizing that video is the medium of choice.

Video saves time because your message is presented faster. A Wharton School of Business study showed that video speeds up buying decisions by 72%. With video, you have complete control of your message. Viewers are presented just the information you want, in the exact order you want. Video never has a bad day. A live trainer can't always be at their best, but with a professionally produced video, your training programs are presented with the same professionalism and enthusiasm every time.
