The Importance of Training Video Production for Businesses
Effective employee training is crucial for any business, but traditional methods like in-person workshops and printed manuals are becoming less effective in today’s fast-paced, digital world. More companies are embracing training video production to deliver engaging, consistent, and easily accessible training content. A well-produced training video boosts employee performance while reducing training costs and improving retention rates.
Partnering with 20/20 Visual Media, a Philadelphia-based video production company, ensures your business gets high-quality, professional training videos that make learning more engaging, efficient, and impactful for your team.
What is Training Video Production?
Training video production is the process of creating videos designed to teach, instruct, or educate employees on various topics. Whether onboarding new hires, providing safety training, or delivering updates on new products or software, training videos ensure that employees receive a consistent message every time they watch.
These videos can take many forms:
Instructional Videos: Step-by-step guides that walk employees through tasks or procedures.
Compliance Videos: Focused on ensuring employees follow specific laws, regulations, or company policies.
Safety Videos: Training on workplace safety measures to prevent accidents and injuries.
Product Training Videos: Demonstrations of how to use new tools, technology, or products.
Top Reasons to Invest in Professional Training Videos
Investing in professional training video production provides numerous benefits for businesses of all sizes:
Cost Efficiency
Traditional in-person training requires substantial investment in time and resources. Costs include hiring trainers, booking venues, printing materials, and the lost productivity when employees are pulled away from their regular tasks. In contrast, a professionally produced training video can be reused indefinitely with minimal ongoing expense. This is especially advantageous for onboarding and compliance training, where consistent information needs to be delivered repeatedly.
Consistent Messaging
A key challenge in traditional training is ensuring that every employee receives the same message. With training videos, there’s no room for miscommunication or varied delivery. The content is standardized, guaranteeing that each employee receives the same level of instruction, whether they are watching the video on their first day or revisiting it as a refresher.
Increased Engagement
Training videos are more engaging than static text or lengthy presentations. By incorporating visuals, animations, and real-life scenarios, these videos help explain complex topics easily. Employees are more likely to retain information from videos than by reading manuals or attending lectures.
Flexible Learning Opportunities
Training videos empower employees to learn at their own pace. Whether at their desks or working remotely, they can access training materials when it suits them. This flexibility is especially valuable for businesses with remote or distributed teams, ensuring that everyone receives consistent training, regardless of location.
Measurable Results
Training videos yield measurable outcomes when integrated with a learning management system (LMS). Organizations can track who has completed the training, assess performance levels, and identify areas where additional instruction may be needed. This capability allows businesses to continually refine their training programs based on employee performance data.
Real-Life Example: Walmart’s Employee Training Videos
A prime example of effective training video production is Walmart, the world’s largest retailer. Walmart invests in creating virtual reality (VR) training videos to prepare employees for various scenarios, from customer service interactions to managing large crowds during Black Friday sales. This investment not only enhances employee readiness but also increases customer satisfaction.
By developing engaging and interactive training content, Walmart successfully scales its training program across thousands of stores, ensuring consistency and quality in employee training.
