What Are the Benefits of Recording A Training Video?
Training videos are important for management because these videos give new employees a visual idea of what is expected of them at work. In addition, the videos give a detailed history of the company and its mission.
-
Help New Employees Observe Work Environment
-
When new employees look at the company's training video, they get an idea of what the work environment would look like. For example, if the employees worked for a software company, the video would focus on how the software is designed and what the rules are.
Employees Feel Comfortable
-
Depending on the company environment and the personality of the manager, employees who watch the training video with their manager may feel less uptight about the orientation process. For example, they may ask questions about the job and the manager may crack some jokes.
-
Give Clear Goals of Company
-
Another good benefit of training videos is that new employees will have a better idea of the company's goals. For example, the manager may discuss his desire to increase sales by 50 percent at his home improvement store.
Considerations
-
Training videos are one aspect of the orientation process. When the video ends, the manager then gives new employees a tour of the company where they meet their new coworkers. The manager also holds a more detailed and lengthy conversation of their duties.
Fun Fact
-
During some training videos, the host will present some trivia questions or a sef-assessment quiz for employees to fill out based on what they learned in the video. This allows new employees to be more interactive in their training.
