The logistics of arranging a trainer who can give effective training every time and is accessible to the all the trainees is an insurmountable task with several additional problems.

So what’s the solution? Its simple- Videos.

Videos are the most consumed form of media for most of today’s generation. It engages the person, it shortens the learning period and it helps retain information in this rapid paced world.

Here are 7 reasons why Videos in Training are much more effective and make more sense!

   By incorporating well thought-out videos in training which make visualization easy you can leap forward a thousand steps in teaching. Complicated concepts of technical topics, for example, are made easy by visuals or animation along with narration and even the most beginner of employees participates in learning.
2. Reduce Time and Money Spent
   By making one video which effectively teaches the employees the required topic, whether Health and Safety related, Induction and Orientation or technical concepts, the money spent can be reduced a hundredfold. The same video can be played across all the different sites and reduces the need of the training inspector to be everywhere. Videos significantly reduce the time required for learning.
3. Demonstration becomes easy
   The problem with most training is that theoretical knowledge is only half effective. Videos allow demonstration which can be suited to the pace of the learner and goes deeper into the concept. Demonstration of machine usage and processes, tutorials through live action or animation, these are different ways which resonate with the viewer better.
4. Videos give consistent training
   All across the diverse locations of the company where the quality of product must be constant, videos ensure homogenous training given to all the employees. This helps keep the company live up to the brand with reliable products every time.

   Not all trainers have the same ability to rouse the enthusiasm among the employees. Effective storytelling ability combined with exciting visuals which engage the trainee is a brilliant method of retaining employees and increasing productivity in the long run.
6. Better retention of Information
   The purpose of training is to explain important concepts which would be valuable in work. Key concepts which must be kept in mind, important work policies which must be followed, all of this information has to be imprinted in the mind of the employee and videos are proven to be 95% more effective in retaining concepts than traditional methods. The image association helps in making an impression which helps remembering better.
7. Self-paced learning
   This is a perhaps the biggest advantage of videos in training. Learners can playback the video multiple times according to their needs and can revise concepts through access to training videos. This makes certain that everyone understands the idea completely and don’t miss out on key concepts

From the above list of reasons, it’s clear that it’s time to chuck ineffective and traditional methods of training and join the growing number of companies who are investing in video content for training. Effective training videos make lives simple and your training successful.
