Upgrade Your Instruction Manuals with Video
When hiring new employees, most companies have a transitional orientation period where the new hire is introduced to the firm, company policies, and daily operations. While most corporations have manuals and policies in print form locked away in a file cabinet somewhere, many companies are now going digital with introductory welcome videos, how-to guides, and video walk-throughs to hasten the training process.
Because the human brain retains 75% of what it sees and hears at the same time, information presented in video form is likely to be retained by your new hire twice as fast as the same information given in a paper manual. Cut your training time in half by creating an educational – and slightly more entertaining – company video that captures and keeps your employee’s attention for the duration of the training session. Avoid boring, time consuming meetings and bouts of confusion by offering a clear, concise training video that explains your expectations for the new hire, company policies, common tasks and duties, and other aspects that are better presented in a visual form.
Once your instructional videos are produced, they are easily stored on your company’s computer network, flash drives, or even through a third-party video host like YouTube (be mindful of privacy settings). An employee can easily access the video file in its entirety at any time, any where, on any device. Paper manuals can be lost, damaged, or have missing pages. Many employees often misplace an instruction manual after just a few months of work, and are unable to refer back to specific policies or operations if an issue arises. If the video is hosted on an accessible server, an employee can easily reference your instruction manuals quickly and efficiently at any time – there is no excuse.
An experienced video production company can help you turn your boring old policy manual into an entertaining, informative instructional video to enhance and expedite your training process. Oftentimes, videos can be re-purposed for several years, and can be edited as needed when revisions are made.
